Just picked up an(other) Ibanez SR...

SR400B-CW... 2015 Reg, and my googling and perusing of the Ibanez US and EU Brochures, have drawn me to the conclusion that this was a US model... So not Rare as such, more Less Familiar...

Claro Walnut (CW) top on Mahogany body, SR4 Neck Maple and Rosewood, Rosewood Board.

Needs a good clean and hopefully i can restore some luster to the top and headstock.

Ikea near you?.. wood dowls in the fittings boxes...

Ah... the BTB IronLabel isn' a Fan-Fret...

Great... bish, bash BOSCH!

Fighting... I'm still waiting on the pics. 

@koby 74 - welcome to the forum

SR or BTB? I loves an SR... For me they are the ultimate body shape, necka and tidiest headstock... available at a multitude of price points and some of the wood finishes... wow.

Get some pics up...

Here, on the 'Black Bass' thread and The 'Ibanez Porn' Thread

Disco-Kaine - Spliff

Quite a Tubes vibe... German Session Lot.

Enough... but not saying it's my last, as it isn't an SR30TH4

Ibby SR... #5... I know, again...

But i does like em...

...clearly... you are a robot...

My Boy Lollipop...

Down With The Sickness - Disturbed...

Sickness has returned... Ooh Wah Ah Ah Ah..

Gonna get told off, so soon after the EDB700... but... but... but... Birthday?

They gonna swap or refund?

Souldn't be £37 short for 3mm long!

At least that explains things...

I'd check the measurements, string, box, website...

Possible an over-long rogue set?

Is there a difference in length to the old set, or just how they are (or not) tuning up? - Gauge Change?

...I am pretty certain you have misunderstood what I wrote in my OP, try reading it again.

...nah... i think i'll leave it... i was in two minds about replying as it was...

I'd go wood... softer than the body and neck... more of a compression deform 'Gasket' rather than a harder wood or plastic that would be more 'Spacer'... Also don't like or see the need for the plastic shield on a neck plate.

Panga 'n Purple... If Carlsberg made bass necks...

Urban Guerilla - Hawkwind 

May i take the 6/Angled?

Would sort out my Joyo Iron Men...

Oranges & Lemons - Trad

Arai, Westone... 80's

The neck on mine (Aria Pro II) was defo more Jazz... 38mm at the nut.

And with 60mm at the bridge, quite a taper...

50:50 - FZ

Nut can usually accommodate a little change, as brands may also differ in thickness...

So if you have gone from a std 45-65-85-105 Rounds to say a 45-65-80-100 Flats...

Check for a twisted string, do you wind a wind round the peg by hand, this can introduce a twist... slacken off a string, pull down to the bridge and see if you can un-turn half a turn at the ball end...

Witness points, tune- up and a light press - lighter with flats - at the bridge and nut contact points.

Saddles, got any silk over the saddle?

If the above don't fix it, trip back with a razor blade, although this may expose a rough join...

Sweet Short Scale Project for the winter nights... cheeky £50 offer?
