Nice tone and fast necks on the HR guitars Despite the "restoration" work, the starting price is not a bad deal.

You couldn't tell the difference if you're eyes were closed...at least I'd like to think so. ;) Regg Username: Regg Registered: 09-2005 Posted on Friday, February 03, 2006 - 2:52 pm:    Looks like the Gibby gets the vote, 19 / zip as of 2:50PM EST. I guess the alterations are hurting the Ibanez sale?

No star tuners or open book headstock on that one, and I've never seen one with the Guild headstock.

The first one convienently has no picture of the headstock (whats up with that ?) and the third one has a Memphis shaped headstock-a shape that Ibanez never used.

And it's in wine too! http://www.qksrv.net/click-1802666-10381315?loc=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI .dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D7395527533 Do you think this would look good in black? six
