Hasy   Gemberbier Username: Gemberbier Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Sunday, August 05, 2007 - 7:58 am:    2 pickups 3 white switches. Same combination as the white "Anzeige-Axt" you posted. Perhaps a clue for the year/era. Ginger   Hasy Username: Hasy Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Tuesday, August 07, 2007 - 1:52 pm:    Ginger Late 1967. The tuners are replacements, i got no originals in my stock now. Hope to find them asap.

This one is contoured more like a standard double cutaway. On the other one, the top saddle was much more indented.   Gemberbier Username: Gemberbier Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Tuesday, August 07, 2007 - 6:22 pm:    That's what I was thinking too. Late '67 and then the third pickup was probably added to all kinds of models in '68/'69? There was this era in the '60s in which all manufacturers thought that adding yet more pickups and switches would automatically mean that you would get a better guitar. And that that guitar would sell better than the preceding ones. The survival of the Tele and the Strat proves that that isn't necessarily the case. Let's face it: how many Jaguars did Fender sell...? Anyway, Ibanez and others followed Fender's example of "the more the better" and that makes these instruments such beautiful examples of the development in that era (but complex to restore when broken).

(Stan Laurel head-scratch) Ginger   Harry Username: Harry Registered: 3-2001 Posted on Saturday, August 11, 2007 - 3:46 am:    Yeah... What people do to their valuable Ibanez parts... These are three wonderful, original and near mint late 70īs Sure Grip knobs and some jerk fitted them on this utterly ugly mid 60īs guitar....unbelievable! Harry
