This one is especially for Mika ?
Adrian Legg had this guitar made for him by Mace Bailey at the Ibanez custom workshop in Los Angeles.
Got all the info from Adrian's Website
The pick-ups are by Seymour Duncan. The fingerboard pick-up is a standard Alnico 2 humbucker, and the center and bridge are Alnico 2s that Seymour kindly made with the third pole-piece lowered to give a more even string balance. Center and bridge are hum-cancelling when used together. The circuit is an old one from a series of wild experiments during my customising/hacking days - too late for "Customising Your Electric Guitar". The fingerboard pick-up uses an on/on/on DPDT for series/single/parallel
coils, and this operates within either a normal parallel five-way selector switch set-up, or is flipped into a series chain by a 4PDT that in the fully forward selector switch position collects from the fingerboard pick-up, but with a treble bleed via a capacitor from the bridge pick-up that by-passes the tone control. So in this setting, the tone control operates as a mid-range cut, and variations on this can be had right back to the bridge selector position, where bass is cut out quite nastily. In the parallel
4PDT position, the tone control operates normally as a treble roll-off.
Construction is straight-through maple (nice quality stuff - thanks Mace) and even Mace was surprised it came out sounding so good. It really does have an excellent tone and sustain, and is a great emergency back-up where luggage space is tight (always, on my tours). Right hand position is a bit tricky - my usual anchor near the elbow is not possible, and I wonder periodically about some kind of extension. Flip Scipio put a Steinberger thigh rest on it for me, which can give a nasty
poke in the delicate bits if a player is not careful...I wonder too about active saddles sometimes, and I probably need to rethink
the Strat style jack socket which precludes the use of my usual tank-like right-angle jack plugs.Scale length is the usual Ibanez 25"
