As far as I remember all the others (that I have seen) had different headstocks... Could this be used to identify an Ibanez copy? If I have the chance I'll go see it and try to remove the pickups to see if there's anything stamped under. Any comment will be appreciated. Thanks a lot! F. PS: If I get it the first thing will be to remove the (non original purple) paint...

I tryed the FastStone but can't seem to get it to do what I need...

On the catalogs I have seen, the Ibanez have a black ring around the toggle, this one doesn't but once again it could be an after market modification... Ah! What about the knobs? F.
