Having recently bought an 80s Ibanez I can vouch for the quality and playability. Oh and the spades of TONE! I'm not much of an active player but the passives are great!
I'd be careful too. get the neck off and see if there's anything written in the cavity. Also what colour is that? Doesnt look quite right for Candy Apple Red.
hey dude, would it be a massive issue to put this back to standard control wise? obviously it will always have the hole where the switch is but would it be a problem to put a 3 way switch back in instead of the blend?
