Show your Ibanez

There was not thread for Show your Ibanez guitar so I made one ;D

I just replace my Ibanez AG95QA-DBS with IbanezAS93ZW-NT (simply reason is that it's so much easier to play
from upper frets and also, more versatile sound).

I play about 1 month then I take guitar for final adjustment (already nice to play) but few fret edges need to file and
then I want frets to polish and make overall last adjustments. Guitar sounds very nice and easy to play.

Some pictures below:

1989 or 1990 EX-140, I bought it in 1991 for $150 - my first guitar actually. Since then it got a PAF Pro, then had the scarf joint broken and repaired. About two years ago I dropped it off the stand and broke the scarf joint again... so... I'm probably just going to put a new neck on it eventually. Currently it's just wall art :)

As an Ibanez endorser I do own a couple of AZ models that are visually upgraded, but nothing all that fancy. This Ibanez is another story. It features some highly recognisable artwork by a wellknown artist who happens to also be a guitarplayer. :)

Kidding aside, in 2007 I did an Ibanez clinic together with Paul (talk about a humbling experience :) ) and afterwards he decided my axe needed some extra artwork. And who am I to disagree? What a great, great guy Paul is. They say you should never meet your heroes, but working with Paul was so, so much fun, really. he is as funny a guy as he is as good a guitarplayer. And decades later he still recognises you ("Hey, you're that Dutch guy with the blue Ibanez with that funky pickguard").
