Goldy? no idea never named a guitar before
Ok, I've got a pretty limited taste in guitars, thats basically late 80's & onwards Ibanez. I'd been playing the same 2 guitars for the last 20 years, but after finding this website a couple of years back through jemsite, it inspired me to start cutting up cheap stuff off ebay & making copies of guitars I always wanted. After 10 or so cut and shut copies, I spotted a cheap lump of wood on ebay & thought it was time to try an Ibanez JS body from scratch.
I never seen people price stuff up, but the reason I started making these was to avoid paying £1200 - £4000 for the real thing, Jems, LNG's, GMC's, donnies etc.
All parts are 2nd hand Ibanez parts from US ebay sellers as the £/$ was so good for the last few years
Body ebay mahogany £27 (with postage)
Neck 1998 Ibanez 540s £115
hardware all second hand ibanez parts from ebay
tuners gotoh £20
Trem ibanez edge £110
pickup rings £10
neck screws £7
wiring, knobs, jack £25
Pickups - spares
Finish
Gold leaf & size £20
swirl paint £6
Halfords 'finest' spray clear 4 cans £24
Total £364
