They look like car parts, I swear! Ebay Item #300139631806   Chucke99 Username: Chucke99 Registered: 2-2007 Posted on Thursday, August 09, 2007 - 1:15 am:    Uggh. Lee. It's certainly not a 1979 either, with that color, unless the same genius responsible for the tremelo also painted it.   Gemberbier Username: Gemberbier Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Thursday, August 09, 2007 - 11:28 am:    The brass truss rod cover indicates that it's probably from 1980.

The catalogue 1979 supplement No. 1 shows only Studio models with plastic TRCs, Roadstars and MC basses, no MC guitars. So now I know that MC guitars had brass TRCs in 1979 and not plastic ones like the ST models. http://www.ibanez.ru/info/file.php?n=1979&p=&y=197 9 And here's the brass beauties catalogue of 1980, when the STUDIO models got also a brass TRC. http://www.ibanez.ru/info/file.php?n=1980-2&p=&y=1 980 Ginger
