I remember seeing one in a guitar store in 83 when I was obsessed with Pyromania, was like I want this guitar so bad. Had to wait another year but I got a cheap Hohner, all I could afford on first job wage.
hello from France ! I've got exactly the same model , my first guitar. i saw phil collen playing this guitar in the clip 'rock of ages', i wanted the same !! very hard to find in Paris in 1984 , only one was available !!
Man, you're hell of a genius. Every time I see a video of you playing, I suddenly cheer up. You're a god on guitar, keep it up! Very nice melodic playing, if only there were more guitarists like you. Have a nice day out there!
How about posting the entire improvisation from start to finish? I like the sound. I have an 84 DT 155 autographed by Paul Stanley I'm going to be selling soon.
I love this demo, that wild fucking guitar (which brought me here, actually thinking of buying a Destroyer on impulse), and the drenched tone you get, man. It's super nostalgic for me. It reminds me of the old Mel Bay book I learned guitar from when I was 13, where William Bay was playing all these crazy tap and trill leads, and wild pentatonic stuff. The neck on that thing looks like super, ungodly fun. Jonesin' like crazy, haha. "An elegant weapon... from a more civilized age." Cheers man, and rock on!
I just put one up for sale on Ebay. But it is a 1982 DT-155, the original Phil Collen guitar. The DT-555 is the upgraded version AFTER Phil did the work on modifications NOT BEFORE. Hurry. It might go fast. Last chance to dance
I always thought the long row of humbuckers on this thing made it look ridiculous to the point of it becoming a cool factor. Love this thing, I wish I had the money to buy one.
Super cool axe! Seen 1 ten yrs ago on ebay for $899 in mint cond. I couldn't afford at the time. Seen one at Guitar centers 2 yrs B4 that for $800 and it was trashed out junk. This axe is on my hit list! I have a Sunburst Destroyer w/set neck & it plays awesome! Oh yeah, don't smack that thing into the wall behind you dude! Thanks for sharing...made my day!
I play only ibanez man ! i wonder now how did you get this awesome lead guitar sound it sounds amazing ! the riff in the start and again at 1.47 was great !
Damn..smokin piece,man!! Had one wayy back in the day,..sold it like an idiot. Remember couple years back walkin into a pawnshop here in Calgary..not 1...,not 2..but 3!! of these hangin on the wall...and i was penniless at the time....drives me nuts to this day..lol. Ibanez has just re-issued the Cherry sunburst flame top one, Nice vid, buddy..!!
Hey man, I just picked up an 84 DT355 and I'm trying to figure out the propoer way to set up the Pro Rock'r bridge. You think you could help a guy out? :) I've been trying to find ANY info I can on this bridge but I can't at all :(
I have the original coveted lawsuit one,actually I have 2 now,1 hacked up into an EVH Shark and the other in perfect condition.I was a ,and still am a big fan of Ibanez ,I have about 30 in my collection,about the same as my custom Jackson's. Anyway,I had one one of these that your playing ,and like the Ace guitars,I can't 3 pick ups,yeah it looks cool ,but when I am playing it gets in my way! So I sold that one,but now l have a tech that knows how to set up a 3 pick up guitar for me! Now I need to buy another. I wish you could have played a isolated track so I could hear the guitar better.Oh well,thanks !
cool guitar i have the DT 155 ( 1983 ) the first production run of the x series 3 pup destroyer you gota love those super 70s .... .but my go to guitar is a ( 1983 ) DT 50 whitch i have tricked out.... kahler trem EMG pups h4 bridge h3 neck . 6 way capasitor selector. 2x dual vol/tone. 2x dpdt switches series cut paralell PS to anyone reading this thinking why did i mess up a perfectly good guitar ...it was a basket case when i got it with shot pups and trying to find v-2 pups is a pain
awsome guitar. i got ibanez geo rg and that sounds great but nothing like this. this is like god's guitar and your have been able to play it. what amp and settings did you use for this?
Man, i need a piece of advice from you. I have a Ibanez Prestige S2170FW, and just received a trading offering: my S2170FW for a Jan-1985 Ibanez Destroyer DT-555 in mint condition. Do you think this guitar worths the trade?
... I thought you would use the opportunity to tell us something about the GUITAR, ie. features, and pickups, how they sound, each one (esp. since there are 3), and if the guitar offers some sort of coil splitting, etc. (Not just playing it (distorted). Guitar PLAYING could be on any guitar.) -EDIT: Its ok, I found what I was looking for here: th-cam.com/video/dzKYH2xbNSY/w-d-xo.html
How much are you looking to sell that guitar for? I'm a huge def leppard fan an I've been looking for Phil Collen's ibanez guitar for a long time. Email me with a price and I'll get back to you
Thanks for the feedback on a very old video!

My father has (I think) the dt444, and that thing is in immaculate condition with the whammy bar. Great video!

I would like to listen to the full track pls😁
I've been looking for this guitar for a long time as well. It cost me a little more than what I expected to pay, but it was definitely worth it.
Looks like the ultimate heavy metal axe.
cette guitare est sublime....la note est juste....20/20
il est rare de la trouver sur le marché de l' occasion....
Can you do a longer version please. This really sounds awesome
excellent sounding guitar !!!!!!
This video never gets old
Wow. Your playing style actually sound a bit similar to Adrian Smith's! :)
Wonderful execution, amazing sound
love that guitar i have one too 82 model made in japan, but just with two pick ups and a les paul tipe bridge

"An elegant weapon... from a more civilized age."
Cheers man, and rock on!
If , I were guitarrist. This would be my favorite guitar!
DUDE, used to have the same one, only I slapped on a Kahler like Phil's--sweet!
I have the "modern" Destroyer but I would love to get one of those into my little collection... great playing, sounds good - thanks for the demo!
I just put one up for sale on Ebay. But it is a 1982 DT-155, the original Phil Collen guitar. The DT-555 is the upgraded version AFTER Phil did the work on modifications NOT BEFORE. Hurry. It might go fast. Last chance to dance
Would love to get it ... but I just got a new Schecter the other week, but thanks for the heads up man!
@hyabussa the backing track is from w w w (dot) bossus (dot) com (slash) go (slash) etracks .....its from set #3!
That main riff 🤘
BTW, I noticed u still play that riff in ur recent videos, which is COOL ✌️
Great playing mate ! I just bought a DG555 Destroyer only made in 86 also they were for the Japanese market is exclusively.
💞This guitar looks good in black👍
Cool guitar, Steve Merchant of Stormwitch had precisely that model c. 1985 with the three humbuckers.
I always thought the long row of humbuckers on this thing made it look ridiculous to the point of it becoming a cool factor. Love this thing, I wish I had the money to buy one.
that sound is Divine !!
Alright dude it's been 2 years. Where's the rest of the song? Guitar sounds great
Less talking more amazing playing
@mike104740 just a quick solo I improvised for this video!

Very cool!
💞 The used auction price in 🇯🇵Japan is around 90,000 yen...ok DT555👍
How much does it cost in terms of dollars?
