There’s no neck pick-up but one is simulated via an active circuit. I only discovered the existence of this limited edition model in late 2015 but there were still a few available online. This is one of my favourite non-synth-access rock guitars, despite it being one of the cheapest in my collection. It remains a firm favourite with me despite the inherent head-heavy issue that it shares with SG-style guitars: the original owner had fixed this by moving the string button from the tip of the upper cutaway to the back of the neck. It was one of the first of the high-end non-copy Ibanez models that established the brand’s credentials in the UK in competition with the much more expensive Yamaha SG2000 with which it shared rave reviews back then. This was a vastly better made instrument, with far more powerful pick-ups. I bought this guitar in Cambridge in 1978 to replace a 1974 Gibson SG Special whose Bigsby vibrato had often been a nuisance. Ibanez 2680 Bob Weir Professional 1765536 1976 Japan
