Not to mention the Carvin pots have smooth shafts so you won't be able to use the Ibanez knobs. Anything that is off brand or non-original will impact the guitars resale value. For collectors you can't get better than original. Not that it won't work its just that the guitar will loose any semblence of originality and that would really qualify more as "altered" than "restored". If you have not alredy paid for the Carvin stuff, I'd think twice about putting non-original type of parts in there. Some notes on "restoring" your Destroyer.
Ibanez rodstar pickup mounting ring serial number#
What is the serial number on your guitar? That would give a clue as to the manufacturing date. But you say they are more of a triangle so I'm at a loss.

A reverse check mark almost sounds like the Hamer "boomerang" inlay. The only inlays I know of for Destroyers are the plain dots and the split block type. The Japanese market seems to get all kinds of cool stuff than won't necessarily make it over here to the US. I imagine that anything might have been possible if your very generous buddy got his axe while in Japan. Hi Bob, I've never heard of or seen Destroyer neck inlays quite like you are describing. Good luck in your Ibanez "Destroyer" experiences.

Please feel free to e-mail me if you wish. I just thought you might have an idea what they call these markers. These are by far the strangest looking inlay I have ever seen. They almost look like reverse check marks, but more of a solid triangle shape. ($109 for all the goodies!) But what I can't seem to get over is the inlays on the neck of this guitar. I'm purchasing a complete Carvin 2 pickup package with all the electronics to put in her. What I'm planing is to restore her to better than original condition. Anyway, the axe is beat to heck, but the neck is as nice as the day it was new. Tim, just a side note, but last March my drummer gave me his '85 Destroyer II that he bought in Japan when he was in the Marines. I'll try to post pics if anyone is interested. I am a big Destroyer II fan and this one is definately what I consider to be a catch but I would like to know if there are many more out there. I would really like to hear from anyone who may know about it. This is NOT the recent, unfortunate DTX-120 that came out last year with the sadly malnourished and shrunken body.įor all intents and purposes it appears to be a modern Destroyer II. The serial is:F5133401, along with "made in Japan" The entire body, neck and headstock are bound in cream and are finished in red metallic including the face of the peghead. The two volume pots have small casings, the tone pot has a standard size casing. The switch and pot cavities look like they have thick, black sheilding paint in them and the switch is different than the old 80's 3-way switch-in-a-box. Knobs are placed in the old, early 80's style with the first one VERY close to the bridge pick up. Pickups are Quantum 1(neck) Quantum 2 (bridge).

Neck is bolt-on with modern "all access"type joint. Split block inlays with Pau Ferro fingerboard. Unidentified tuners that say only "made in Japan" but not Smooth Tuner II's or Gotoh. Logo says "Destroyer" but it's clearly a Destroyer II not a Gibson Explorer replica. I am interested in hearing from anyone who may have information on it. Other features mentioned below indicate recent manufacture as well. Even the protective plastic was still on the truss rod cover and the rear cover plates. Really, it's in mint condition which indicates to me it's can't be more than a few years old. It is in top shape with nary a scratch or chip anywhere. I just aquired a Destroyer II that has many unusual features. Ibanez Collectors World: Mystery Modern Destroyer IIĬool Contemporary Electrics (1980s and Later) »
