DT200 Destroyer ...

[Eyes of the Night]

Now all I need are pickups, a floyd, and laquer removal tips to get candy bitch red off of her and put some stripes on ...

Just showing off because I've wanted this fucker for awhile now ... decided on bitch red because she was in stock and COULD NOT wait for an order of the Amber one ...


I fucking dig IT thus far ... holy fuck I feel cool now;)

Nice axe Eyes ! :)

I hope you ditched the Peavey :p

[Eyes of the Night]

The Wolfy? ... riight! Not ... I love my wolfy! SO proud because I "floated" her myself when peeps said I couldn't or that it wouldn't ... got some wicked grunge screams ...

Did get rid of the Peavey cab ... for a Marshall 160 if you're NEW;) ... and today I heard MUCH BEEF in changing out Ruby for GT tubes ... all 10 ...

I dont know if you have the same neck as my Destroyer II,
but you couldnt pay me to lose the neck that came with
that axe. Best neck Ive played, and Ive owned many Gibsons.

[Eyes of the Night]

Yeah, Ibanezs' necks were always too narrow and I freagin' hate the feel of anything non maple thesedays ... I love the way Ed slapped those 2 peices together to make like an irony estroyer ...


What the hell do I have to use to get that funky coat off there? I want a Rose, and I want to float her REAL bad .... and and want 2 Paf sounding hums to replace da stock ... just cause it's always a nice lil ritual of deboning stock gear ...




I'll get some neck and back pics plus closer shots here in a day ... I have the shittiest pc camera known to me ...

[Panamark]

Mines fitted from factory with Kahler trem. Theres some
good pics here:

Maybe you can get it routed and have one fitted ??

My Destroyer is a solid body with neck through body.
Neck kills any Gibson neck I have played.
But mine is also from 1985...

You could have a totally different neck now ??

[Eyes of the Night]

Maybe so there old schooler mayber so;) ... I just don't like the headstock ...

What pickups do you peeps recommend? PAF's where my first chizoice ...

[Eyes of the Night]

Ah yes, she's getting routed so I can put a FLizoid on her ... with the addition of a Wolf pickup I may just have to add a Dimarzio PAF Pro on the neck ... or vise versa ...

[BrownSound1]

I dunno if I would put a Floyd on that guitar....

[Eyes of the Night]

Why cause the bod's to narrow? ... I can see it more once you said that ... or saw that when you mentioned that ... lmao


3 days again ... gone 3 days and my eyes are turning grey ...

[The Scatologist]

Wait a minute, they still make those? How much did it cost and where can I get one?>

[Eyes of the Night]

It's a reissue my bre ... go to Ibanez.cum and look for the nearest dealer near you now! If they don't have them in stock they can order one for you ...

Think now you can only get it in amber cause mine is a 2004 unless you can locate one near you ... Ibanez does not customize either cause I asked for a floyd and in black ...

Retail is around 500 bones but if you're smart most dealers will match your lowest price that has a phone # they can call to verify to match that price ... I found one with a # for 349.00 ... he sold it for 340.00 ...

[Eyes of the Night]

Or do a search for DT200 Ibanez Destroyer/reissue ... you may come up with more options seeing how yer in hawaii ...

Eddie Van Halen's Ibanez Destroyer was an exact copy of a Gibson Explorer. Ed's guitar had a glued on neck like a Les Paul. He drilled a bunch of holes in the shape of a V and cut along them with a saw and put two turnbuckels in there. The guitar had silver stripes and a maroon body and the stripes were on the back of the neck as well.

Ibanez had to stop production of the original Destroyers because Gibson sued them. Apparently these guitars were made of Korina wood like the original Gibsons were.
