heggis Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Have you guy's seen this? Not sure if I like it or not, but at least it's original. http://www.ibanez.co.jp/world/product_news...esse/index.html Heggis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biliousfrog Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 yeah spotted them the other day somewhere. I like the top one a lot, the bottom one get's lost a bit. I saw some better pictures from an angle & the jigsaw pieces look really well done, it also looks kinda camo from a distance too. .....ooooooooh, hang on, I've had a brainwave......anyone fancy doing a camo pattern with different woods? I know that this is a bit contraversial here but.....it's still the same ol' Ibanez shape, not my thing but the finish makes it a bit more interesting.

Mattia Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 I've seen it done, much, much better, on a bass I can't remember the builder of. Smaller builder, custom, had in fact trademarked the concept IIRC. This looks childish by comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spazzyone Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 i agree with Mattia i have seen these before. look at the gaps in the peices while it does look more like "puzzle peices" this way it still bothers me just like loose fitting inlays that have to rely on colored filler to make a bad job look better versus tight fitting ones that someone took there time to do right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biliousfrog Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 haha...they're not gaps, they're bevels. I can't find the first pic I saw, it was a close-up of the body, but I've found this ebay listing with some more pics: http://cgi.ebay.com/Ibanez-RG20063-06-Limi...1QQcmdZViewItem & some NAMM pics http://www.ibanezrules.com/new/rg20063.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have slightly bevelleved over the edge but they dont have a chance of fitting together. I have just finished making a rossete on my next acoustic that has 5 points around it, if they hadnt have perfectly fit, then i wouldnt just bevel over the edge. IMO if a company wants to mass produce guitars they should at least do something achievable. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe-Of-Fortyseconds Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 My brother has one, with the light and dark puzzle pieces. There are absolutely NO gaps . They're perfectly matched and the bevels are perfectly done. I will take some pics soon! If there were no gaps they wouldnt bevel the edges. A perfectly joined jigsaw pattern, totally flush would look cool and probably quite beautful if you like wooing over good joints The bevels just make it easy to have not so good a fit and fill the gaps with filler without noticing.

palecriminal Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 That's a really cool idea, though. I think it would be great to reproduce one of those M C Escher prints in a similar fashion. That would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanb Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Some of them had very good joints, while others were very poor. It varied a lot from one to another. There are a few threads with lots of good pictures over on jemsite if you are interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desopolis Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 I like the concept regardless. the bass posted is pretty sweet, but remember its a whole body not just a top. maybe some cool escher style tops will apear now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doeringer Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Wasn't there a GOTM with puzzle pieces a couple of months ago? Heggis - at first glance your avatar looks like the Fly by Night album art from Rush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heggis - at first glance your avatar looks like the Fly by Night album art from Rush I remember that, it was a 'jigsaw' bass, the fretboard inlay was puzzle pieces if I'm thinking about the same one....
