Bought an Ibanez

Unread post by SaxMan123 » Sun Oct 21, 2007 11:51 pm

Couple of weeks back I purchased an Ibanez off ebay. Expecting it here tommorow.

It is a 1993 Ibanez RT650, Andy Timmons used to play them back in the 90's. These guitars were made in a limited run from 1992-1993 and are very hard to come across. They retailed for 800 USD (so close to 1000 CAD back then), I paid 470 for it and it is in excellent condition based off the pics. A couple of mods were made to it, the bridge humbucker was replaced with a Seymour Duncan SH-5 Custom pickup, the nut has been swapped out for a composite Earvana nut which helps improve intonation. Since it is not 100% original, it was much cheaper then they would actually cost.

But I want to add some features to it like a Roland GK MIDI device so I can use a Korg KP2 Kaoss pad for doing modulating synth effects and stuff. I do not know if there are any devices like the GK series pickups which are more affordable, anyone know?
