There was no sound when I plugged it in, but all it needed some minor work on the electronics--a wire had cone off the input jack. BTW, I figured out a neat way to get the jack back in. I used one of those plastic drink straws with a bend in them. Just insert the bend end through the hole, thread it into the jack, secure it with small piece of tape, pull it back through and remove the tape. Very easy. I also ordered Grover Rotomatics from Stewart-Macdonald as two of the original ones were falling apart. It still needs minor finish work. In fact, I'm looking for advice on how to fix two small chips on the body finish, both in the dark-brown areas, as well as a 3 cm long chip along the top edge of the headstock (the wood shows). I heard Ibanez finishes do not respond to Gibson touch-up pens, so I'm looking for super glue in black and other colors that I can mix, but I haven't tracked down a local supplier. Any ideas of what to loook for? I attach some pictures. Thanks in advance for any input. This is a great site and Ibanez guitars are a revelation to me. In fact, I’m selling my PRS McCarty standard and looking for a Strat copy of some kind. I’m a professional photographer (www.dorigatti.com) and I’ll post a pix of the finished AS-50 in a few days.
