Something with an F hole or two and a single pickup. Old jazz box?

Yep, that's an ebony/dark rosewood bridge...old guitars and jazzboxes use those.

Image from Totally Rad Guitars (good website btw), but this is what I have coming. A 1989 MIJ Ibanez s540. I've had RGs, and while I like the neck and playability I've never quite gelled with the looks of the overall size, they're a bit too macho aggro for my quiet nature whereas the S series looks somewhat understated for a Floyd equipped 80s Ibanez.

I think this finish would look very nice with cream pickups.

TC Zeus Overdrive, feel like I need some Kloneage on my board, top mount jacks a plus, none in stock in NZ but $45 USD at sweetwater! Just a shame that shipping is $32 :rofl: but still save 20% on NZ price...
How can I be sure I'm here?
