As we all know Ibanez for a long time was frowned upon(and sometimes still are)as nothing more than a wanna be guitar so I think it's great when you see old photo's of musicians breaking the "cool" mold and have a Ibanez slung over their shoulder.What I hope to start here is a collection of pictures that prove that Ibanez has always been more than second rate.If you have any please post them up.I'll start with this one of Joni Mitchell and her George Benson from 1980 or '81.

Thanks for the pictures!
Jonie Mitchell playing a GB, cool. Where's this picture from?
In the one of Richie, what guitars are they? Looks like a 2618 (I can't see any tri-sound switches and it's a dot-neck), and a 2622 EQ. Is that another Artist in the back? And could that be a PF model that's partially cut off up front? |

Here's a fantastic picture taken by Harold Wherry:
Here's the story behind the picture:
"I am also attaching a Photo taken by me of George Benson performing at a Jam Session in Montreal, Ontario, Canada in June of 1997. George is playing an Ibanez "Lee Ritenour" LR10 model. George had just finished performing with his band at another venue. He was staying in the same hotel that was hosting the Jam Session.
When he first arrived he was invited on stage and he sang and scatted a couple of jazz standards. The audience shouted play some guitar, play some guitar! Well someone there handed George the LR10 and George began to whale, Blow, Smoke, Cook, Burn!!! It was awesome seeing George play up close again. I met George afterwards and we talked for several minutes. George is a very very nice gentleman!"

John,
The Jonie is from an old book called Rock Hardware and in the Richie the I think the black one in the back and the antique violin on the left are both the 24 fret 2618's and the cherry wine on the right might be a 2619 but I only see 1 switch and I thought they had 2.One of each available finish.They all have the cool Super 80 pickup covers.This next one is kind of common but I think is a classic.Gerry Beckley of America.

Here's another picture from Harold Wherry. This one is of Rick Zunigar being reunited with an "old friend".
Recently, Harold visited with Rick and here's what he learned about the guitar:
"Here's a picture of Rick Zunigar playing his old AS400 which belongs to me, now.
The guitar was made in 1981. Rick received the AS400 directly from Ibanez Japan while touring Japan with Stevie Wonder.
Not long after he received the guitar his pet hamster climbed inside the F-hole and chewed up all the electronics. Rick had to get the guitar rewired."
For those of you not familiar with it, the AS400 is a great guitar...ahead of it's time. A semi-hollow with neck-thru construction, who'd of thought it? Ibanez, of course!
Alas, guitar players thought it too radical, compared to the very popular AS200. Consequently, the AS400 had a very short production run, making it a very rare item.
To learn what Rick Zunigar is up to these days, follow this link: http://www.jazzutopia.com/ |

Guys,
Last week I went out and took in some great Jazz at the Westin Hotel in Long Beach California. CHARLIE SHOEMAKE & GUEST BRUCE FORMAN QUARTETTE put on an outstanding performance.
Jazz guitarist BRUCE FORMAN plays what looks to be a Blond "IBANEZ JOE PASS" model.
It appears that during 1979 Bruce approached Ibanez about building a guitar to his specifications. About 2.5 years later Bruce received the guitar pictured below!

Harold:
You're becoming quite a good on-location correspondent.  That's one special looking axe!
Beautiful honey-colored top (spruce?) and that flamey tiger stripe neck is awesome. Am I correct in saying there's no volute on that neck?
Thanks for sharing! |
Harold Wherry (Blues)
| | Posted on Wednesday, April 25, 2001 - 12:54 pm: | |
John,
You are correct: No Volute on the Neck!
The guitar also has a Solid Spruce Top!
Bruce is very proud of his Ibanez blond beauty. He let me play her during one of their breaks.
I was impressed with the total guitar.
The neck action is fast and similar to the feel of the Joe Pass model - which happens to be the best neck I've ever played.
The weight of the guitar is well balanced from top to bottom.
Bruce used the neck pickup exclusively!

Harold,
That is one way cool jazz box - a contender for a Guitar Tours Feature perhaps?? (Hint Hint John!!!).
My take on this guitar is that the body is closer to the FG100 than the Joe Pass. The body shape and dimensions are the same on both of these guitars however the FG100 has the same F-holes and pickup placement as Bruce Forman's guitar.
I agree that the neck is very much the same as the Joe Pass - the headstock has the extra width at the bottom, unlike the FG guitars. The absence of the volute is interesting. I guess Bruce didn't want it on there.
The serial number is one digit short. I wonder what the story is there??
The ultra high quality timbers look sensational. I've never seen an Ibanez neck with that much curly maple before - fabulous.
I wonder how much Bruce paid for it.
Regards,
Mark |

Harold,
Seth unearthed this info on Bruce Forman's guitar. Thought you might be interested.
"From Dirk who personally knows be-bop guitar great Bruce Forman:
I have the Joe Pass epi myself (the blond)- which is how it came up in conversation with Bruce... I said "your guitar sure looks a lot like my Joe Pass" and he said, "I know. Yours is actually a copy of mine, etc.."
The guy who made Joe Pass' guitar for Ibanez also made Bruce Forman's guitar. When Epiphone asked him to make a Joe Pass signature guitar for them, he decided to use the design for Bruce Forman's guitar instead of the one for Joe Pass... so, in a way, it's really a Bruce Forman signature guitar - Bruce still plays the original two or three nights a week at Jazz at Pearl's in San Francisco and on weekends at various sites in Monterey County, and once a month while traveling with the Monterey Jazz Festival Traveling Clinicians programs.
Here is Bruce Forman's reply to me when I asked for confirmation of the story above:
#1 It's true...a man named Fritz Katoh made both of our guitars for Ibanez and he has since moved to Epiphone.
#2 We never talked about the JP signature Epiphone, however, the dimensions are the same as mine (the only thing it has in common with the JP), the f-hole style is the same as MINE, the choice of wood types are the same as MINE, and the pickup placement is the same as my model. Epiphone changed the tailpeice design to metal, away from an ebony version which was a replica of the newer D'Aquistos'(something my model also had in common with the Ibanez JP). When I did a comparison with my axe, an Ibanez JP and the Epiphone it was obvious to all of us, and there were a whole bunch of guitar players there, that my model was far more similar.
#3 The Epiphones are very good inexpensive guitars, I recommend them, but beware, they vary quite a bit from axe to axe. Some are much better than others."
Cheers,
Mark |

Hopefully Bruce will contact me soon for a feature in "Guitar Tours."

Hi guys,
l have a Bruce Forman C.D called "Pardon me" released in 89 which has the above guitar pictured on the cover. However the C.D cover doesn't do it justice. Also there's no mention of any endorsement in the liner notes.
Bruce must have friends in high places?? l'd sure like Ibanez to make me a one-off guitar like that!
Cheers

You might not be able to tell through all the hair, but this is Pat Metheny playing an AR112 Artist 12 string.
Check out the discussion board at his website: http://www.patmethenygroup.com
Plug "ibanez" into the search engine and you'll be able to read Pat's own feelings on the difference between his legendary ES175 and his Ibanez signature model. Pat is very complimentary of his Ibanez guitars. |

Now that's interesting! The caption says "AR112", but if you look close, it's really a 2618-12. The clues are the 24 fret neck and "Flying Fingers" pickups. Unless, of course, it's another one of those "transition" things!?! Mike G has my old AR112 now. *Sniff*

Steve:
Your eyes are VERY good! I'd say you are right about it being a 2618-12.
In fairness to Ibanez, the promo was probably printed when the AR-112 was the current model. No use advertising a guitar you couldn't but anyway.
By now MikeG has probably accumulated one of everybody's guitars. |

Guys,
Here is a picture of Jazz/Blues guitarist "DAVE STRYKER" posing with my 1980 IBANEZ GB10.
Dave usually plays a sunburst Gibson ES347. Dave has played with greats like: "Stanley Turrentine" and "Jack McDuff" to name just a few...
Dave Stryker was the featured guitarist during a Jazz Guitar Workshop we had back in about 1995. Dave was a student of the late "BILLY ROGERS." For those of you Not familiar with Billy Rogers: Billy Rogers was the guitarist who replaced Larry Carlton after Carlton left the "CRUSADERS."

No pictures yet but I found this guitar info on the late Steve Marriott of Humble Pie(you know,30 Days in the Hole,Don't need no Doctor,etc...) very interesting.Earliest pro I know of using and recording with Ibanez although a '67 Howard Roberts?Does that sound right?Itchycoo Park actually came out in '68 but it is all around the time of the Ibanez "new beginning."
IBANEZ ARTIST: A kind of Ibanez anwer to the Gibson ES335, even if the neck top and the bridge have their own design. Steve use to rate Ibanez guitars because you hardly had to break them in. On the other hand he missed its top/treble presence, but raved about its out of phase position. In any case, he was sufficiently over the moon with the company that he posed for a commercial Ibanez poster in 1982-3.
IBANEZ HOWARD ROBERTS: Towards the end of the Seventies, Marriott preferred Ibanez guitars to Gibson makes, because he realised that its constructors had the necessary know-how and on top of that had bought huge supplies of Gibson wood. Steve had use the Howard Roberts as early as 1967 for 'Itchycoo Park', with very light strings.
IBANEZ
'LES PAUL' BLONDE: What Steve loved most about this copy was that a solid body guitar had a maple neck. But the pickups he found too dirty for Small Faces Mk II purposed so he meant to replace them with double-pole Fender pickups. Who knows if he ever did? |

I had the pleasure of attending a jazz guitar workshop hosted by Bruce Forman the other night. He is really a great guy - an outstanding teacher and player. If any of you live in the San Francisco bay area, I highly recommend attending this series of ongoing non-profit hands-on workshops (bring your guitar). http://www.jazzmastersworkshop.org/ They are held weekly in SF, Carmel, Mountain View and Oakland. Each one is hosted by a different mentor, and they are all top guys. You definitely get your $20 worth (free to students). They are trying to increase attendance so they can keep the program going - I was kind of amazed that there were only like 5 or 6 people there.
Hope to see you there on Wednesday!

Bingo, you win the prize! I just heard from Roye and he confirmed that it's an Antoria. He says that he'd be lost without it, btw. He also owns some Ibanezes and is very enthusiastic about promoting "these beautiful guitars".

Hi
There should be pics out there of Sting who endorsed Ibanez in the early 80’s . Gary Moore was another endorsee, a mate of mine saw him live during the mid 80’s and although he had his signature Ibanez on stage he never used it. I sold a few of these when I worked in a music store during this period but they never seem to appear on e-bay, ditto the Steve Lukather model. |

Here we go. One of the reasons that I started to collect Ibanez was because Sting used them. I started with musician basses. Here are some pics of sting and a musician. This one is a 1978 fretless musician, and it is the same one that you can see in some later photos with a rhino sticker on it. He used an MC-980 as well. Also he had a 1980 all blonde musician 940 fretless. which is truly one of the most amazing basses that I have ever seen.
