Nice looking guitar though. Any thoughts? Could it be an Ibanez neck on a unidentifiable MIJ body? -Chuck   Ibanezkid Username: Ibanezkid Registered: 6-2007 Posted on Saturday, July 14, 2007 - 5:30 pm:    It could be a pre copy IBZ with a strat pickguard.   Bassassin Username: Bassassin Registered: 1-2006 Posted on Sunday, July 15, 2007 - 8:04 am:    Check out the sixties-ibanez.com page - this guitar's a 2475 STLP from '69/70. Looks complete & pretty nice to me, apart from what looks like an extra strap button on the lower horn. Presumably it's been strung l/h at some point.

Note that this one has also 2 knobs in stead of 3 and the pickups are all with chrome casings (in fact these are the same pickups as were used in the neck position of the telecaster copies). Hasy has one in his collection too.

So the Lace "Chrome Domes" were not such an original idea after all. (I'm not talking about what's on the inside of course). What do you think about the price, Harry? The BIN seems pretty steep, don't you think?

In the last 7 years i sort them only 3 times. One is in Orvals collection, one is in my museum and this auction now. I dont know, this lady is a rare byrd and the collectors worldwide are not interessed ? :-( Hasy
