Been a year or so since I got this one, and began accumulating the requisite gold parts, including original Ibanez "Star" tuners and Super 70 PUPS. I got it sort-of restored, but all in chrome.
It's had a Kahler on it and has a fill-block under the PG. Also had a giant PG at some point, so there are a few old screw holes, but not too bad. I had to make a new pick guard, and fill/re-drill the post holes, etc, etc, etc....
Last thing I needed was PUP height adjusting screws in gold, so I took the PUPs to my local(90 minute round trip) music shop, and got them to order some gold ones in the size I needed. Got a call a couple weeks later, and went to pick them up, only to find they ordered the wrong ones. 3 hours + wasted on $2.40 worth of screws and the guitar sitting on the bench without being finished. New screws came a week or so later, and now she's back together and sounds great. The SUper 70's are Maxon PAF clones, and have a great tone.

A couple other things needed doing, like re-plating the tuners, and replacing the switch, and a couple solder repairs, but not too bad. Still need a TRC cover made, but I wanted it back together.....
Love this guitar. It is also exceptionally rare, all the more so because lots of them got destroyed by hair and metal band wannabe's.
