    Sorry that happened. It would cost you more to send it for repair than buying a second hand one.

    Time to reactivate that topic!!
    I recently purchased a very interesting guitar in a cash converter. My son is a retro gaming fan, so I drive him time to time around cash converter shops where he sometime find some old games. I usually let him look around and go to the music instrument part.
    Couple of weeks ago , I saw this little guitar, with an unknown name on (Daytone), and it looked like old Ibanez Sabre model.
    I first thought about a crappy chinese copy. tag asked 99 euros.
    Next visit, the guitar was still there. decided to play a bit on it. Very nice neck, double locking trem, nothing wrong. For 100 bucks I bought it.
    I then searched about. It's a Belgium brand bankrupt in 2012, that made guitars in Japan, in the Nippon Gakki factory.. same as Ibanez ones! The Trem is something I've never seen. A Floyd Rose under license, were you can put regular ball end strings.
    Asked a friend that runs a luthier/guitar shop. He saw those particular trem on some MIJ Ibanez.
    It's now clear, I bought an almost Ibanez Sabre branded with an almost unknown name for 100 bucks. New strings, light fret beveling, and I have a great little metal/fusion axe, with a more than usable trem.

    Edit. no doubt, it is a Nippon Gakki. the headstock is an ibanez one, the head angle is similar.
    Ibanez branded have a part of the headstock removed near the last tuner.

    I play bass guitar and I have twenty high end basses. Including two real ESPs from Japan and not those ESP LTDs, that are made overseas. My favorites are my 1996 G&L L2500, my 1975 Fender Jazz bass, my white Gibson Thunderbird, a short scale Gibson SG bass and my Hofner 500/1 bass. My amps consist of a USA made Ampeg BA 500, Combo amp with 210s in it , an SWR head along with two 210 GK cabs and a Trace Elliot Elf 200 watt loud head, that I use, with a 4 ohm Peavey Black widow 210 cab. I'm moving to West Virginia soon, so if anybody needs a bass player, in West Virginia. I'm available.

    Nice collection. Very wide, not focused on one style. To me the mother of all the bass is the Jazz Bass, and I'm a fan of the round tight and powerful Ampeg sound. A bass impressed me a lot, it was a Sandberg California 5 strings. It's like a Musicman but even better in every way. Craftmanship, sound, feeling. Those german basses are awesome.

    The full collection won't fit in the pic, this is the majority . Some I've built over the last 22 years as a luthier, the rest collected over the past 45 years of playing

    That's why I like my USA made G&L L2500 so much, with my 1975 Fender Jazz Bass along with my 1962 Fender Jazz bass that I really love playing too. It's another Leo project, like Music Man was before it was sold to Ernie Ball.

    I started playing Christmas 2019 (at 47 years old)as my youngest son who was 7 wanted to play...he has given up as school not doing lessons due to Covid...I bought myself a cheap acoustic to start with and now have Greg Bennett (Samick)...I'm rubbish but I do try and pick it up every day....hard when I've just got a bike again:)

    Pick it up and play even a few minutes every day is the way to go.
    That natural wood finish electric looks really nice.

    My parents tried like hell to make a musician out of me. Violin lessons, trumpet. Purcussion. Bass horn. The problem was...I had no interest in it. REFUSED to practice. Hated marching band ! But I could tear an old flatty dual carburettor set up down, in the dark, by the side of the road and make it sing again. Just different music ;) ...J.D.

    That's interesting. I did the opposite. Being myself into music, and as kids were very young I played 40 jigs a year + regular job, so not a good example for them, I never put them in music school, nor push them to play. They had to request for it.
    Result, my daughter plays piano, guitar, sing, and my son is in position to become professional musician (drummer, bass, guitar, trumpet, name it he can play). none of them have interest in bikes or motors.. complete fail :confused:

    There is a lesson to be learned here. Do not follow your passion. Pursue your talent. Take it from a very old man with lots of miles on him. My skills, in the end made me a comfortable retirement in my old age. Along the way I found time and money for the things I was passionate about. If you follow only what you are passionate about, you can end up a starving artist with an empty bank account. BTW: My family all had musical talent. I was terrible at it :D. ...J.D.

    I'll stick those up here before they go on ebay
    My sister in law is selling those, they were bought new just a couple of years ago,but her friend took ill not long after and has since passed away,she was left the guitars but she can't play The fender cost him £2400, the Gibson cost him £1600 and the amp was £1500 i think the price he paid would have been very competitive as he used to buy a lot of guitars from the same shop

    After years looking at that machine, I finally bough a cheap used TC Electronic G System (300 eur including a pro flight case)
    First thing done was to upgrade the firmware to the last version (2 upgrades). Then I can edit it from a PC software.
    Brillant machine. Built in switches to change amp channel, 4 cable setup to use effect loop, etc etc.
    The design is really smart, sounds are great, flexibility is awesome.
    Should have bought one years before.. I now have a bunch of pedals for sale :)
