(Is this Hasy your mate, as it's the same guitar).

They were also sold under the Guyatone brand with a few cosmetic differences (knobs, switches).

Not the same bloke there Simon. My mate is my local prescription pharmacist... (you could say my local (legal) drug dealer...lol)

And it seems, according to the waffle on the linked page and because of the block inlay issue then this Ibanez is a '58 or '59 model...

It's a bit sad as to the state of the very thin inlays on this guitar, but the owner doesn't want them fixed. Actually, a few of the inlays are missing but you wouldn't know it unless you look very closely as the inlay recess is that shallow ...
