GS270 (6)

Done & good to go. Reminder - this is an Ibanez GS270, a GIO Series guitar made not to look like one. This is my third GIO given this kind of treatment.

Was at Beez's yesterday to get the electronics done.

Nothing fancy, a pair of Artec rail-type high output humbuckers. The middle single coil is the default pickup which was given a black metal cover.

Not too pleased with the replacement truss rod cover as it sports cloudy build ups but glad it was available.

A fresh set of Olympia strings. 

Was this re-finish necessary? No. It was a fun engagement for sick people like me to pass the time. I enjoyed seeing my efforts come to fruition & was not bound by any standards. I'm not a pro guitar tech who makes a living out of this. I also don't believe in sending my guitar for a pro paint job because it's costly. Thanks for reading / following. 

Ibanez GS121 (2)

About a couple of weeks ago, I managed to acquire a pre-owned GS121 from someone who stopped playing guitar altogether. True enough, the guitar wasn't purchased locally, it was ordered through Amazon back in the day. I am a firm S-Series fan & wouldn't let this go even if it's not a revered model. It's a mere GIO Series, no biggie. How much? I sold off my BOSS delay pedal for this & still had spare change to drop by the supermarket for some cans of sodas & a jar of freeze-dried coffee.
