Форум гитаристов

а это шито за седла такие? где взять? мне как раз на шаллер надо

I posted this a couple years ago, but here it is with some additional info for those who are really curious about this series...

San Dimas reissue history:
--mid-late 1994: prototypes made including a trans red V with a lacewood body, a I with a natural alder body, and a III with a natural ash body as well as other prototypes.
--late 1994: production of I, II, III, IV, and V begins.
--October 1994: Guitar for the Practicing Musician ad runs promoting the I, II, III, IV and V.
--Late 94/early 95: V is discontinued, replaced by the Traditional.
--1995 San Dimas catalog: Standard and Traditional models are introduced. The photo of the prototype trans red V from the 10/94 ad is used in this catalog for the Traditional. That is why in this catalog the printed description of the Traditional doesn't match the photo next to it.
--1995, months unknown: IV and Standard are discontinued.
--1996 San Dimas catalog: TL-1 model introduced and photo of Traditional model is corrected.
--early 1997: production for series ends

Variations:
I’m sure there are more, but here are some I’ve seen:
--Initial ones made have Jackson backplates.
--Some of the same models have scalloped body contours by the backplate, some don’t.
--At the least, the following models can be found with OR without a skunk stripe: I’s, II’s, III’s and Standards.
--I used to think that the skunk stripe, or lack thereof, and the type of neckplate corresponded, but I’ve seen a couple of examples where they don’t.
--Seems like the earlier III’s have pao ferro boards and then rosewood after that.
--I had 2 V’s. One had pao ferro, the other was rosewood. (wish I kept those!)
--At least one later III has a black painted back, instead of gloss natural and also has the perfect oval type of single coil route without the lip.
--Some have a “Made in USA “ logo, others are “MADE IN USA”
--The SP-1, a variation of the Traditional with h/s/s and a Wilky, was made in 1996 for Sam Ash and not a part of this series. Don’t think they had locking tuners either.

Most have Charvel plates. They started with Jackson plates in '94 and then switched to Charvel plates (seems like beginning of 95)

а на ибанезовских гото-эдж сёдла никогда не магнитились. так что не сталь! вот так спецом делали. для звука. ну и служат они ... лет на 30 точно можно дать гарантию очень надежно. скорее стальные стойки сломаются, чем те сёдла а действительно, что с ценой? если бы Элит за такие деньги. надо было б срочно брать. даже если не нужно.

а какая адекватная цена элиту?
