I got some very useful work done on that rig. I gave it to my brother a few years back and somehow he lost track of the GM-70. Still has the West Bury with pick-up though. I do a lot of precision metal work - I bet I could make something similar to the Gittler. I'm biased ....The Ibanez is and was so much more than just a Midi guitar the neck and bridge system alone was a marvel / masterpiece . Neck = Ebony finger board Graphite reinforced .Gittler style tuning from the bridge ....need I go on ? https://www.joness.com/gr300/img2010.htm I wish I could get some of the hardware Ibanez used ....I would slap that on some of my other guitars ...IMHO , Ibanez was way ahead of the loop . I sold my Roland to get this thing ...lol Then I would go out and listen to John Abocrombie play his Ibanez ...he used to make fun of me ...lol As far as the Gittler goes I'm sure it costs a fortune in materials alone just to make one .....Titanium ? Either way I scalloped one of my Fender Esquire maple necks back in the day ..a full scallop like the guitar John McLaughlin, played back in the day I know I can dig that type of feel ....a big reason I gravitate towards my interest in The Gittler Say , if you build it , and if I ever come passing through your town I will check it out nice talking w you , Kenny Edited May 3, 2019 by Kenny Wilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBH Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Wow - I didn't realize it was Titanium - missed that little detail..... but stainless is relatively cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
