Check it out. It's a 2680 w/ a 3rd pickup plus pup on/off toggles like the Cowboy. It seems like someone was trying to build a poor man's Cowboy, or, could it have been a prototype?

The toggles setup is eerily similar to Weir's 2681. He had a single coil in the middle plus he had 5 pots. It is for sale: 650 Euro. Here's the translation: "Ibanez self-development larva in Japan of approx. 1977". Maybe it is a prototype. |

On the surface....Doesn't seem to have enough tone/volume controls for the amount of pickups. |

More Weir'dness.... I found the picture above last year and was never able to find it again. I know it was from a German or Dutch website. Today I found this: I suspect it's the same guitar, however, the pups (or covers) were changed from Super 70's to Super 80's and the toggles were replaced with a 5-way selector switch. Very weird.... It came from this link: http://www.wutzdog-guitars.de/DIbanProf-3PU.htm btw...check out the others from this site: http://www.wutzdog-guitars.de/WutzIbanez.htm mk |

It's the same guitar. The woodgrain is an exact match. Best, Michael |

I like it better the first way, the weir way. Shouldnt have changed the mini-toggles imho very well could be a prototype. |
