I Like Shiny Things!

Did a little upgrade on my pre-lawsuit, SG copy, Ibanez 2383 and added genuine Gibson chrome pickup covers. The gold-colored originals were missing when I purchased this guitar used off eBay. Gold replacements were super-premium priced on Amazon compared to the chrome, but I actually like the chrome's appearance.

The pickups I learned are Epiphone, so it looks like this guitar (or parts of it) was assembled at the Matsumoko Factory in Japan where Epiphones were manufactured in the early seventies. Matsumoko also did work for Fuji-Gen Gakki (Ibanez). Here is a very cool Japanese mark I found beneath the pickups in the center pickup cavity...
