  3. split HB of an old JS 100?
    Lasse Speer

    Hi,
    I own an older JS guitar (it’s from the early 90’s I think). The guy I bought it from told me it is a JS 1000 model, but meanwhile I believe that in fact it is an JS 100 model. It’s white and on the pickups there are the letters "IBZ" – so I believe these are no DiMarzio-Pickups like in the JS 1000 model. But the guitar has got the same tremolo like the 1000 model, not the sleazy one that the new 100 models have got. So I’m a bit confused about wich model it actually is.
    The Pickups are not splitted and I wonder if it’s possible to upgrade that. I’m not quite sure about it because I don’t really know what pickups these ones are.
    Thanks!
    Lasse

    I am selling an Ibanez Chrome Boy guitar. I have seen some crazy prices on Ebay for $5,000 and up. Is this correct?

      I saw that too and he sold it. I sent a message that his price is insane but he replied with strange words like it’s worth it or something. Crazy…

        Hey I have ajs 100 just bought it…on mine it says ibanez js 100 on the back of the head if it doesn’t say it there ..check if yours has a high pass filter switch(coiltapswich on the volume lever)then its a js 1000
        if it has the edge bridge it is a js 900 if its a js without a tremolo system it is a js 700

        if its not one of the ones i’ve listed go to a search engine and look for js sites that have cataloges in them or go to ibanez.com!!!!

    1. Re: chroming a JS100 coloured TR translucent red
      Jon Ouimet

      You can get your Ibanez JS chromed so it looks like the chrome boy and the good part is that it will be exactly like Joe’s and not a luthite (in other words plastic) guitar like the one Ibanez sells. You must first take your guitar apart (neck, pick ups, hardware and all electronics). Then you must sandblast your guitar so that you have the natural wood. You then chrome it (this gets done at any chroming company like mag chromers or hardware chroming). Pls contact a luthier first so that he works in partners with the chroming company because you need to determine the thickness of the chrome to put on so that your neck and other hardware still fit. You will need to let the chrome sit and dry for about a month or so. Then you will put back all of the hardware and electronics (if you have the original pickups, I suggest you take the chance and change them for Dimarzio Paf Pros) Unlike what Ibanez sells, Joe actually plays with two Paf Pros but one has inversed wiring. You can also take the chance to get the guitar grrinded and put in an edge floyd rose system. (Go to any used guitar store and spot and old Ibanez which has one and deal the guy to do a switch with yours for 50$) That’s what I did. Once all of this is done, you will notice that the guitar is heavier. That’s normal but do expect you guitar to be cheaper in sound for a while. It will take a long time for the instrument to become a good one but once done, it’s the best. I hope I have answered all of your questions and if you want more details, let me know.

    My son wants to buy his first gutiar. He likes the Ibanez JS-40 package. Is this a good first gutiar package for the price of $299.99 at Sam Ash? We know nothing about Gutiars. My son is a Sax player in school. He likes the look of this Gutiar. What do you look for in gutiars besides price? Thanks

  14. Intonation
    Dale L. Weber

    I’ve bought my js100 through throughbread which is now called Sam Ash. This guitar rocks! I can get a wide variety of tones! from heavy crunch! to a bluesy clean strat. sound. I replaced the strings, after I got it, with a new set of d’addario’s and tuned it,and set it up like it was when I took it out of the case, but the problem is the 2nd string, it has a clinging sound I don’t know if it’s the intonation ,or how I put the stings on. I put them on the way it says! in this Guitar Maintence book. Could someone! help me out I’m stuck in a rut! Your site kicks! A$$!

      Florian Wöllner

      Hi,
      I guess I can help you !I had a lots of problems like this in the past!In my opinion it’s a tremolo problem !Loose the strings or take them off and then check up the feathers(I don’t know if this is the right word)of your floyd system!I hope I could help at least a bit!
