Question Hi,
I'm french so, sorry for my bad english,
i have the same guitar that brad used many time and I would like to know why he doesn't used it anymore after late 95?
that is a tranparent black guitar custom made : ibanez sabre series 540 flamed maple top, can see it on that url : http://www.robyz.altervista.org/Images/s540.jpg

Answer No worries about the english,,,the reason he topped playing that guitar is due to his guitar tech dan macdonald custom building a guitar for brad(the brown mode)-brad loved the sound of the guitar so much he rarely ever played anything else.
From what i've heard the ibanez was losing tune or just wasn't making him happy...lot of years on the road i guess and it took it's toll on the guitar,,that's why he played the dan macdonald custom so much.
