It has a 5-position switch which can get up to 7 tones by pressing in the Tone knob while the switch is in position 4 or 5. I am providing a few links to pictures I have taken. I am trying to collect any information I can about this guitar. The serial number is J842511M. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

Rich lasner was friends with Modulus so he had some RS necks made by them and me and one other guy (Mark Berkert) installed them on stock Ibanez RS and DT models. Howver the cost for the Neck from Modeuls was around $150.00 on top of the list of $495.00 for the guitar so the price of the models was around $800.00 list and we only sold lke 5 of them. One problem was no truss rod so the necks were over bowed (Back bowed) And many could not be played. After about 6 months, I had to take all the necks off of the guitars that did not sell and switch them back to the standard neck.

Steve Markblz (Markblz) Posted on Tuesday, August 24, 2004 - 5:20 pm:    Thanks Jim for the all of the info. I'm stunned to hear of the neck problems some of these had. I can say that this neck is great. It is comfortable, and the action is great. I've had this since '84 and still think it's one of the finest instruments I've played. Anybody else who has picked it up has agreed with me. My brother-in-law, a professional jazz musician, loves it. I'm only saying this because after 20 years of playing this guitar I'm shocked to hear of the neck problems. Thanks again for the information Jim.
