It's October 19, 2024. An Ibanez Iceman IC300DM and Tokai FV are here at CA Guitar Repair to be worked on. Both guitars belong to the same client. We'll start with the Iceman, then. It's heavily modified, and features a Bigsby B5-style vibrato tailpiece, brass nut, Epiphone neck humbucker, and Seymour Duncan STK-S10 YJM Fury in the bridge. The owner is planning to put the Iceman up for sale, and wants both pickups swapped out before that. To this end, he's provided me with a pair of humbuckers taken from his Tokai FV.
As the FV is now without pickups, a pair of "inspired by P90" pickups has been installed, but not wired in. It'll be my job, then, to solder them into the circuit. Another issue that needs to be addressed is fret buzz on the higher frets, which the owner believes has something to do with the truss rod. Last but not least, I've also been tasked with installing a new TOM-style bridge and truss rod cover.
