Here's a goofball for you!
1998 Ibanez Talman with some questionable mods!
The obvious one; the 6 screw bridge has been replaced by a top-mount Kahler 7330 FIXED bridge. It has been inset into the body, with the top of the front of the bridge flush with the top of the body. See pics. Very well done, can't fit a piece of paper in the gap. I was going to swap it out and go back to a 6 screw, but with the routing for the Kahler I'm leaving it as is and looking for one more original.
Has also had the pickups swapped for Randall=branded ones that I think came from a Washburn? They're okay, not what I would keep if I was going to keep this guitar, though.
Tuners replaced with Grovers, with two of them installed at goofy angles because they touch. Does not affect tuning stability.
Overall condition is very good, with a few dings, one odd round "melted" looking spot on the back, and a peeling spring cavity cover.
Frets in great shape, some shiny spots on the high strings from frets 1-5, but nothing I can feel. Truss rod seems to be working correctly. Setup is good so I'm not going to mess with it.
Will ship in a padded gig bag.
