Members prodrigu Posted November 19, 2006 Members Share Posted November 19, 2006 I never tought I would take part on the New Guitar Day, but today I was a happy man after going to the pawn shop and finding this Ibanez Roadstar in almost new condition:) I think the price was right $149 + tax It was looking really dirt, and almost did not produce any sound since all the switches and contacts had not been used in a long time apparently. I brought it home, oppened, cleanned all the contacts and now it looks beutiful and all the electronics work very well. I still need to do a setup by giving a bit more of relief to the neck, setting the intonation and raising the action a little bit. The neck is straight and there is no fret wear. I did record a song by Satriani after I finish cleanning the electronics. Hope you enjoy it. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.cfm?bandID=280770&songID=4682047 PS: Don't bother the fret buzz. I actually adjusted the relief and action after I finished the song:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Josh S Posted November 19, 2006 Members Share Posted November 19, 2006 Nice score!I work with a guy who is one of Canada's top jazz guitarists (whatever that means - wasn't it the Hip that said, "Being the biggest in Canada is like being the world's tallest midget"? ), and for the last fifteen years he's been using one of those to track everything he does... Even though he has a freaking Super 400.So I guess they're okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
