A mate of mine has asked me to "do some work" on his Ibanez Rhythm guitar that he got 2nd hand while he was doing 'Form 5' (year 11) way back in 1963. He was a bit vague on its earlier history and wants to keep it as it is one of his first guitars. Intonation is surprisingly good as is the neck and both PU's still work but the switch and pots are in a very sad condition hence the need for my services.
I'm doing this post here on the forum mostly to seek out any info that any 'old farts' or budding historians on the forum might be willing to share. Of particular interest is the PU's which on first play and inspection seem to be remarkably similar to P90's but might actually be humbuckers, so any info shared there would be of great interest.
I dare say few of us on the forum will ever get to see such a old axe (it is at least 54 years old) let alone get to play or work on one so I thought I'd share at least that much with all you wonderful guys n gals ...
