Greetings fellow ibanezoholics!! This is my first posting in this forum but I've been lurking around for quite some time scanning old threads finding answers to my questions! After a shot of tequila some pushups and a slap in the face, I finally decided to request an account...and here you are....stuck with me! I own 4 Destroyer's (400cs, 555 and two 380's), great guitars! I'll post some pictures later on. Recently I've been having this urge to purchase an Ibanez SG! I have a specific item in mind, but I need help to see if its an original. I think it's a 2354s-model, correct me of I'm wrong.I don't know if its a set neck or not. VIN:J750045 Any info on this guitar would be greatly appreciated!! Tried to google, but no. Rock On! John |

Looks like the stop tail came in walnut and ivory. Some of the more experienced folks probably have more info. Welcome aboard! -Brent |

Welcome,I look forward to the pics. I believe all 2354's are bolt on.Nice guitars,I have one. That neck looks a little rounded at the end to be a 75 and the stop tail looks a little beefy too,like the kind that bolt through,rather than hook on.But it may just be the picture. Mine came with a non original brass nut too,that's funny. |

I believe this one's on eBay right now. Apart from the brass nut it seems fine to me. Paul |

Abs: Let us know what you think when you get it. This specific SG replica model was the first Ibanez I ever owned. Mine was a '75, also. I have not seen one like this since I started ICW. Most have the Bigsby style trem. Your's has the full pickguard, stop tailpiece and lawsuit headstock shape with keystone inlay that mine also had. Mine definitely didn't have a brass nut and the finish was more opaque cherry. I'd be interested to know if this one has been refinished. |

It plays alright, pickups are fine. Pots are smooth, no noice. It has most likely been refinished. The bodycolor does not match the neck. Tuners have been replaced. It has a dead spot on the thin e-string around 12th fret. The paint has cracked between fretboard and neck on both sides all the way up/down! The brassnut is a horrible installation, functional but ugly as ..... Not the best buy I ever made.... Will post pictures tomorrow. Let me know if there are any specific parts you want to see. |

Wow, that Japanese Sunrise Destroyer is identical to the first electric guitar I ever bought. I worked full-time at a fast-food joint all summer when I was 16 just to buy that guitar. brings back very fond memories, it was a killer axe!! Nice collection! |
