"The guitar on the right in both pictures is:
* the Unauthorized Ibanez G3 Guitar!
In other words, custom built by me with Ibanez and DiMarzio parts.
* Body: JS-10 Chrome Boy (Satriani)
* Neck: JEM 77BK (minus a couple frets) (Vai)
* Pickups: DiMarzio Air Norton and Steve's Special (same
pickups used on the Ibanez John Pettrucci Signature Models).
The wiring is the same as the Pettrucci models where the middle
setting has both pickups in single-coil mode. Only, I wired
it backwards so the outer coils are the ones that are active...but
I actually think it sounds cooler that way.
* Bridge: Lo-Pro Edge
* Case: UV1000 hardsell (not shown -- and it does have
a couple stickers pasted on it)
* Problems:
* There were some holes drilled into the body to attach a
pickguard as an attempt to cover up a spot where the first owner
had rubbed the chrome off of the body. Certainly not the
smartest thing I have ever done. However, it should be
noted that the tone and functionality of the guitar have not
been affected. What's more, anyone owning would feel much
less worry about playing it because it is already worn-in.
* The frets on the neck were already filed once before I got
ahold of it. It still plays perfectly (no buzzing or dead-zones),
but a serious player may want to consider replacing the frets
at some point in the near future. Also, part of the neck
had to be removed to make it fit to the guitar, which meant the
loss of a couple frets."
