For anyone that is watching this I ended up with this beast... It's way better in the flesh than this video can show. As soon as you play it you'll realize how good that it really is ! I l was to sell it, it would go back to Jason. He has helped out myself and my bass player when we had some problems with some shops over here in Australia. It turns out that Jason knows alot of people in the industry .After this he has become a very valued friend of mine. I couldn't ask for a better person to end up becoming friends with ! One of the most genuine people that we've ever met (not in person) but I plan to travel to Japan in the next year to meet him in person.... Instead of doing facetime video calls.... Thanks heaps mate ! I'm loving the Ibanez but it can be scary playing such a rare instrument !
My congratulations! I'm proud owner of a 1983 Destroyer DT500, and I agree that they are all marvellous instruments. I'm a little bit jealous of your edge trem...
Jason: Man...as much as I would love to have that awesome axe [pfft, 2 humbuckers? TRY 3! Like Ace Frehley but with a whammy!], I really, really REALLY hope you can manage to keep that one for yourself. It was born in Japan - maybe it should stay in Japan. And who better than you to take care of it? KEEP IT MAN... cheers!
Just like The Stuport's comment below, that one hits me deep Joe. Thank you for that. We'll have to want and see what transpires and if things move in the right direction.
Good luck with the TV show Jason - hope it all works out for you. The guitar is a beauty and your playing is as great as ever. I remember you from Eastgate Music way back in the day. I brought in a George Washburn EC29 (now that is rare!) for a setup and you proceeded to play it the way it was meant to be played! Good luck with the sale. I sold my EC29 and miss it... ;-)
WOW!!! That's so nice of you Costas. The show is going to be HUGE. Just trying to get the finances together we need to get it off the ground. I guess you must be one of Marcello's friends. I vaguely recall the EC29 coming into the store. That would have been over 10 years ago now. Well anyway, thank you again for the kind wishes and kind words. Cheers!
Greetings Jason Man......First off, my Rock-n-Roll Heart is breaking over the fact that you "might" let your DG555 "Leave The Nest"....I have half a mind to start up a Go-Fund Me page for you to get the needed funds for your next project rather then see you sell off your "Musical Children".....And i'm serious too. Getting together with my Oldest son later this weekend and having already chatted to him about you in the past and he as well has seen your videos....we BOTH are gonna do some needed research to see where and what we might need to do. In the meantime, i hope other JASON FANS chime in with possible suggestions as well. I will be in contact mate....and for the record.... YOU Absolutely Slay when Shredding ANY AXE you own!! I admire your tenacity in making your TV Show Dreams come true and as always Stay Strong and ROCK ON MATE....Cheers From Ohio
You're killing me Stuport ❤️. You are a beautiful soul and I don't even have the words to reply to this right now because it's 1am here and I'm having an exhausting week. All I can compose is that this message went directly into my heart. Thank you sir. You are a true blessing sitting in my corner.
What an amazing guitar Jason! It's sad to see you sell these beauties but I also believe if you don't play them, they shouldn't sit in their case either. Thanks for sharing this one, even if you don't sell her. I should add, I have sold a few of my rare guitars to pay for things that have moved me forward, not lateral. And you can't take them with you ;)
Is it possible to have only the middle pickup on or is the middle pickup also wired to the master volume and can only be blended using the center knob?
if they made these things left handed i would pay any price for it. the best thing i could find is a gutted custom body with the same shape and an RG neck with a floyd rose, i don't really know if its worth it to buy since i really don't know if it even plays well or what the overall condition and quality is. i honestly don't know where to look for one of these things left handed
