Hi jrumiano! 👍Thank you for watching my videos and the useful information! But I'm afraid that according to the previous owner and the new owner, it's a Tribute. And I asked the manufacturer based on the serial number. Then I read the related P90 pre-assembled series and based on that I said in the video. But despite this, it's possible that it's a Studio guitar! The guitar was brought to me only for repainting, which has a fixed value frame, I made the binding extra, so I have to include it in the expenses! So that's why I didn't remove the neck and the fingerboard! Maybe you made a video of the operation, I would like to watch it, ? Thanks again for the comment and I hope that you will like the rest of the series! I continue to wait for your useful comments!👍

@@lieszkovszkyGuitars1973 Hi Victor, I don't have video of the conversion, but I do have photos. If you have an email address I could send you some photos. Thanks, John

Hi Andrew! Oh, I forgot to mention that! Yes, it's ceramic magnet, but it sounds better than the ceramic core pickups in Ibanez from the 90's! This EMG® RetroActive Super 77 Set is a great match with the 0.1 microfarad oil paper capacitor. This is the first ceramic pickup that can deliver clear highs, mids and lows!

It's a matter of perspective! They only make a few pieces a year, and you have to wait years for them! You only come across one like this once, or not at all! A rare piece!

Thank you very much Ray!

Hi Andrew! Great, thank you for the valuable information you provided! Unfortunately, I'm not a good video maker, but I also found a factory defect that I forgot to videotape, but I told the owner. This is a long-scale guitar, so 24 frets were put on it from the factory. So the scale length is 648 millimeters. But the rear bridge is placed in such a way that the E1 string must be set all the way back for the intonation to be good in both (12-24) octaves. Therefore, the A and E6 strings can no longer be adjusted, unfortunately. So the entire bridge would have to be placed 5-8 millimeters back to be good.

Hi Anin Ahmed! Thank you very much! Have a nice weekend you to from Innsbruck, Austria!👍

Hi Andrew! So, can it be original Japanese? Congratulations, it surely bring you a lot of joy when you get your instrument to play! Yes, humidity is very important for the guitar! You did a great job! I recommend to anyone who has an acoustic guitar that the bathroom is the most humid place in the house. Therefore, you can leave it there for a whole night once a month and it will do it good! It will not be damaged, but rather good help of it!👍

Hi Daniel! First of all, thank you for watching my videos and thank you for your question! This is a difficult question because I don't have the guitar physically in front of me, but I'll try to answer it, which would require a lot of measurements! 1. Are the necks of the two guitars the same? So what should the pitch distribution be, the scale? 2. You need to mill the FR, and on your guitar it's made of mahogany. And it's a soft wood, you also need to insert a steel plate across it, which between the 2-piece support leg holds onto. 3. How thick is the guitar neck so that the strings coming from the tremolo (E6,E1) are at least 2mm from the edge of the neck. Because otherwise, when you solo, the string will slip off and get caught in the end of the metal fret. 4. The tremolo should not be too high or thick, so that you don't have to cut too much out of the guitar body, so that you don't have to adjust the string height too much. So the best purchase and installation is really the FRX. The distance between the E6-E1 strings is 52.1 mm. If it is suitable for the width of the neck, then it is good. The Special is 54 mm. I hope I could help. If you need further help, find me on Facebook, I can help you there in Hungarian too!

Thanks again Ray! Sometimes I have to improvise because I have to work quickly so that the musician can use his instrument at a concert! Unfortunately, here in Europe we sometimes have to wait 3 weeks for a US E-bay order to arrive, by which time the guitar needs to work well at 6-8 concerts. And it works!😎😁

@lieszkovszkyGuitars1973 👍🏻👏

Yes, this is an important fact! But the owner who ordered the instrument also plays songs by other bands. And that's why he asked for it like that! Sorry, the next order for another guitar will arrive soon and then the unnecessary E string can finally be removed! In my concert videos you can see how the yellow angel sings on stage! Thank you for watching Thank you for watching my videos and commenting!

Thank you very much Ray! Ibanez bass guitars are great, I like them too, I have an 80s Wasburn guitar with an Aktiv pickup, I really like them! I had befor a band for twenty-five years ago that I played guitar in and there was another guitarist. Our bass guitarist didn't show up for one of the concerts, so I stepped in to play bass! It wasn't easy! But I still like it and I try to practice!

@lieszkovszkyGuitars1973 👍😎👏👏👏👏

At first I thought about a standard Jazz Bass guitar or the Player! But I couldn't find such a level in the standard, maybe Player. But the Vintera is equipped with exactly such keys. Then I asked for the serial number and it said exactly what it was! Thank you for your comment and for watching my videos!👍

Thank you Andy!

Thank you too, and thank you for watching my videos!

Thank you Ray! Every time you praise me, I always feel a little ashamed, because I feel like I still know very little, or that I rarely practice what I know! Thank you anyway! But when the owner picks up the tuned good setup guitar, he makes everyone smile and happy, whether they are beginners or professionals!

@viktorlieszkovszky9683 You are just a humble guy...and thats ok! Das 😎 all! 👍🏻😉

Thank you Ray! Very good brand for beginners and even for advanced guitarists! Only 150-200€ for a new price.

Hi Andrew! Thanks for watching my videos and the useful information! Yes, the factory Fender pickup boxes have pretty good quality hard sponge! I also cut pieces from that to insert into the middle of the spring! Or I can get uw-resistant rubber tubing by the meter at my local hardware store and pull a couple of centimeters of it on. Or heat shrinkable black rubber tubing for soldering. But for 20-25€ I can also get coated springs,👍

Hi Graves! First of all thank you for watching my videos and for contacting me with questions! This is a great guitar and congratulations on it! 1. Yes, to lower it, turn it counterclockwise, and to raise it, turn it clockwise! 2. yes, the black screws always have to be loosened before adjusting! 3. I don't remember exactly, but I think I used a 1.5mm Allen key. Good luck with your work.

@@lieszkovszkyGuitars1973 thank you !

Thank you Ray! I work for two music schools, this guitar was also made for a young teenager, I think it is very suitable for a beginner guitar. I don't want anyone to lose interest in music because of a broken guitar! I hope I can give a guitar in great condition back to a beginner, but a budding talent who might become famous one day!

@viktorlieszkovszky9683 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thank you Ray and I'm glad you like it! It's full of great songs, and this is just a fraction of the repertoire! And of course, in addition to the good atmosphere, delicious beers are also a good idea!😅

@viktorlieszkovszky9683 PEEVO!!👍 🍺 🍻😋

Thank you very much!

Thank you Ray! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Viktor from Alps

Thank you very much !

Thanks Daniel for the comment, Yes you are right! The owner asked for 6 strings because they are not only playing Rolling Stones songs, but also a massive 4 hour concert with about 10 artists. So the guitar has to meet other criteria too!

Thank you Andrew for the useful info, I didn't know that and I didn't know this brand! I think the construction itself is good, the owner has been using it for years and is satisfied with it. And thank you also for watching my videos and the useful comment!

Unfortunately, for some reason I'm only seeing the comment now, sorry! Yes, there are quite a few bars and restaurants along the main road, but not next to each other! Between the hospital and Tesco, there's a favorite of mine, the NADAO PUB. Great permanent band, large concert hall, cold drinks, good food and everything you need! It can be seen in another of my videos!

Thanks Gary! Yes, many people like this neck radius. I've seen similar ones on PRS and ESP-LTD guitars, I think they work under a Gibson License. Unfortunately, this was the owner's request, so instead of the guitar gathering dust at home, this great guitar is back on stage and in the studio!

Thanks Ray! Yes, Angus Young didn't have much to choose from when they started the band, but maybe they still had the thin-necked Gibsons back then. Now they make guitars specifically for him.

Thank you very much!

Thanks Ray! The owner was really very happy! Because he earn him family's monthly income with this instrument! He almost didn't recognize it, he said it was a new guitar shaped for his hands and style!

@viktorlieszkovszky9683 A Telecaster is very uncomfortable to play. I have many physical ailments so I totally understand! I'm happy for him. 👍🏻

Hi Ray Master! Thank you very much for you watching all my videos and writing positive comments! I am very grateful for it and it also motivates me to keep doing it! Thanks!

@@lieszkovszkyGuitars1973 Thanks Victor! 👍

Hi! Thanks for watching my videos and commenting! Yes, it's much easier to make! Unfortunately, I don't speak English well, but I said in the video that unfortunately I have now closed my rented workshop where I could do these loud operations, I am now doing this in the living room of my apartment. Since I live in a condominium and have 4 neighbors, I thought I would show you how to do this without machines! Of course, the most accurate way is to cut it with a CNC machine in 5 minutes! Also, I personally like the Japanese handwork line very much and I try to make every task in this way!

Hi! Thanks for watching my videos and commenting! Of course you are right, but in this case the neck pickup is 15 Ohm and the bridge pickup is 20 Ohm. If after I finish my work and the owner tries it and is not satisfied with the sound, it is likely that the pickup will be replaced, which I will not do. So that there is never a problem, that's why I'm makeing it now!

Hi Ray, my friend! Well, first I sharpen it with at least P260 sandpaper, then grind it on a whetstone! I like to use water-based paints, but also the natural materials that surround us in the kitchen! Ex: Turmeric yellow, coffee, etc. I will present them in another video! Yes, you should always pay attention to the fact that water-based paints will be 3 times lighter after drying.The time and labor to repair the instrument never increases proportionately with the amount, so it always remains a semi-hobby. That's why a master instrument made by hand, be it a guitar or a violin or any other instrument, costs thousands of dollars or euros, while a cheap wood CNC-cut and stringed costs a few hundreds! Greetings my friend from the Alps

@@lieszkovszkyGuitars1973 Victor I can NEVER sharpen my chisels or knives properly. When I see yours cut wood like warm butter...I'm Amazed and impressed! Turmeric I injest regularly...however 🤔 as a stain! 👏 Wow! If you were close I would have you make my Telecaster SO much more comfortable to play and sound GREAT! I love watching you work. You never stop amazing me! Thank you...Very much! USA...Ray 👍🏻

If my scale is correct, it was about 5-5.2 kg.

@@lieszkovszkyGuitars1973 that is heavy!

Thanks Ray, I hope you like it when it's done! It's a bit unusual for me to work on a telecaster, but it's really true that it's too difficult for a street musician to use it all day!

@@lieszkovszkyGuitars1973 Viktor Yes remember when you built a Butterscotch Keith Richard's Tellicaster a few years ago? That 🤔 I think was easy compared to this. Good luck! 👍 Waiting patiently for the next video. Thanks Ray

Hi! It is a completely simple L-iron that is galvanized. You can buy it at any home DIY or equipment store, I bought it at Obi, about 1.5 euros. Thanks for watching my videos and asking questions!

Hi Ray Master! Well, the BumbleBee's is a capacitor, an oil paper solution from the 50's and 60's, which is still used today. Of course, the newer technique is the ceramic capacitor, orange drops, which is also good, but I like the old sound better! As a matter of fact, the short sinusoidal signals created by the string resonance in the pickup propagate in the form of a weak current, which can be AC ​​or DC. This is stored and passed on by the capacitor so that it is always passed on in an equal amount. It balances the measure. Thank you very much!

@@lieszkovszkyGuitars1973 Xcellant! I like old too Victor! Better sound. Thank you!👍🏻

Hi My Friend Mr.Ray! Thank you very much for the kind words, I'm trying to do everything to the best of my ability, but I still have a lot to learn! But I think you're a better guitarist than I am a mechanic! I make not boxing but it's similar, I did Thai boxing from my teenage years until I was about 30 years old. I loved her very much and later she became my Thai wife. You can also see my travels in Thailand in previous videos! Best Regards my Friend!

@@lieszkovszkyGuitars1973 I appreciate you kind words as well. I bet you are a better guitar player than I. You are just humble. Me I just have fun. I asked about boxing because it was the only sport I ever watched. I also was ringside for huge big boxing events at Foxwoods Casinoand and Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. I went to many mixed martial arts as well. I will watch some videos from your wife. 🥊🥊 Take care Viktor 👍

Thank you very much Ray!
