Unfortunately I don't have any photos but I remember that the pickups were narrower than a humbucker with one row of screws and a row of oblong steel polepieces - sort of Hofner style. Inside the pickups it was actually just one coil, wound on a clear nylon bobbin. The guitar was cherry red and it had a trapeze style tailpiece as I remember. I'd love to know the model number, see a photo, or indeed, get any information on this model.   Gemberbier Username: Gemberbier Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Wednesday, May 02, 2007 - 6:16 pm:    You probably mean this one, the 1915, which is actually a copy of a Yamaha: http://www.break-even.org/ibz70/imagesibanez/ImDLa /laO191015.JPG (That's the backdoor) And here's the front door of Harry's and Hasy's website, with lots of interesting old stuff: http://www.ibanez-vintage-page.de/ Hofnerians call these oblong pole pieces "staples".

It's definitely not the Yamaha one. and it's not really like the bass one. It's more like the one Tristran found on Ebay. It has the wooden shield decoration fitted to the trapeze bridge and yes the pickups are screws and staples. What model is that? any more photos? Many thanks. Out of interest, I removed the wooden shield because doing so made it look more like a 335, and I still have that shield today!   Gemberbier Username: Gemberbier Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Friday, May 04, 2007 - 5:00 am:    That doesn't look like a 1972 guitar. It has a ZERO-fret! Looks like < 1967. This is one for Hasy!

Hasy will know...google "privates ibanez museum" to see photos of his collection.   Gemberbier Username: Gemberbier Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Saturday, August 25, 2007 - 5:12 am:    Does it look like the six string in this picture: ?
