Angelo: The only catalog that I can find showing the ProLine 2550 model is from '86. You won't find any company selling replacement parts for these older Ibanezes, today. We all scavage eBay for parts. The Proline models didn't last long, so finding beat up Prolines to steal from will probably be time consuming. Are you sure you have a PL2550? According to the catalog, they didn't come with pickguards. The PL1770 came with a color matched guard. The PL2550 had neck-thru construction and had saw tooth inlays on the ebony fretboard. The PL1770 was a bolt-on and had dots on the ebony board. |

plus, i figured it would be easier to track down a pickguard than the original mounting rings for the single coils which is what i am missing... angelo |

Justlikedreams: OK, so you know what you have. In that case, I would suggest leaving it stock and not adding anything. I feel these neck-thru and exotic wood Prolines will be part of the next generation of "collectible" Ibanez guitars. It might take a few more years for them to appreciate considerably. But keeping it stock (or making mods that can be reversed) would be prudent for the future value. |

oh i guess i didn't state it clear enough, my plan is to return it to stock because when i bought it that 5 years ago or so, the guy who had it totally customized it so yeah.... i just wanna try and get it back to stock (or close to it) sorry for the mixup -angelo |
