@buck7477 Thanks for watching! In 1983 Ibanez had the RS100 & the RS205. They had maple fret boards and a more traditional SSS pick up. If yours is like mine with the Rosewood board and hot rail style SSS pick ups then it is most definitely an 85. Either way gotta love the 80s ibanez line up!!

I have this one also! Little too much single coil noise. Thinking about installing a hotrail in the bridge! My neck plate shows 1983. Think it’s the wrong neck plate! Uhg!

Great video, the guitar sounds great. What is the purpose of the switch.
@ChristopherLeeShreds5 ай бұрын
In what would be the neck position it is actually a dark position or treble roll off. The middle position gives you access to the tone knob. While the bridge position bypasses the tone control giving you a straight connection to the bridge. The bridge position is the brightest of them all.
@d3dude5 ай бұрын
That seems to be very effective. I noticed in the video you switched to the bridge position once and it was much darker, but I wouln't have guessed it had three distinct functions. I wouldn't have even looked at this guitar because of the single pickup, but i have changed my mind now thanks to your video.

Nice find! In 1983 when I was 17 years old I bought a creme Ibanez LesPaul custom because it looked just like Randy Rhodes 74 Gibson. I still have it, love it & play it today. Mine is from September 1975. A couple differences are on the Head stock same as yours just like a Gibson but between the Ibanez logo & the truss rod cover it has the 5-piece diamond & the truss rod cover says Custom. On the neck plate above Made in Japan it has a serial number which is how I traced it to 9/75. I have a 1972 Ibanez V with no serial. Your LP must be from earlier in 75 before they started putting serial numbers on them. Ours are the reason Gibson sued Ibanez because they changed the headstock shape in 76 or maybe 77.

So watching, on the high action, i got mine down with 8 gauge strings on it to about 2.5mm and it still plays nice. Took some truss rod adjustment. I think if I lightly take a block sander on the last 8 frets, I could get it down below 2mm.

So my big issue with this guitar is the Quantum pickups in it. They had a, really flat and hollow feel to it. And I only have one otjer complaint and that's the built in spring reverb. The springs are awful, but was a $10 fix for noiseless, and I added shrink tubing to them to further isolate and chance of noise on them. My older Japanese Ibanez has the V serious pickups Dimarzio built for them here in the US and they sound killer. But again, amazing guitar, especially for the price.
@ChristopherLeeShreds11 ай бұрын
I agree! You get a lot of guitar for the price. This particular guitar does not have noticeably loud springs. I think I may have been a bit lucky. Besides a quick truss rod/bridge adjustment, the guitar was very playable out of the box. The quantum pick ups are not the best but I think they sound great all things considered. They are ceramic. But for a beginner or intermediate player, this guitar checks off a lot of boxes. And like you said, after a few mods, maybe even swap the pickups for something alnico, you would have a top notch axe. Thanks for watching!!!
@lorenmorgan193111 ай бұрын
@@ChristopherLeeShreds for sure. And man like you say, entry level price for a guitar that plays inches from my vintage Jap ones that cost 5x what this one costs. Honestly my jap ones have been played so much over the years they need refret horribly. The only thing I really feel in play difference though is the Wizard III is 1mm thicker than the old Wiz II. Amazing guitar and thanks again for the entertainment. :)
