2017.9.23: This is an original Ikebe Instruments design released in 2016.
The 1st lot sold out immediately, and I was planning to buy it again around spring this year, but the local Ikebe didn't have this red one I wanted, so I bought it while I was in Tokyo.
I bought it while I was in Tokyo. This spec is AIRCRAFT's AC-6, but the original has a medium scale neck and a reverse head.
I looked at two stores and chose the beautiful one, but when I came home and adjusted it, the flange fingerboard part of the high position was horribly warped backwards and the 24th fret was sunken almost 0.5mm more than the 23rd fret.
2017.11.2: It was repaired by the manufacturer and returned to me after about a month, but the fret rubbing in the high position was not done properly and there was a dead position on the first string chalking...
When the frets were deburred, the sides were rounded off too much and the end of the fingerboard on the first string side was also rounded off, making it easy for the strings to fall off.
It was also found that the conductive paint inside the cavity was not conductive using a tester and was not noise treated.
2018.3: The neck was remanufactured and returned, but the quality of the frets were not like those on a new neck and were partially flat fret rubbed together, so it was returned.
2018.4: I finally got the frets reprocessed by the manufacturer.
I have not been able to play it for 6 months since I purchased it and will now use it.
2019.3: I sold it because I couldn't stand the bridge, which floated as I played arming even though I changed the springs, the neck, which warped in order even with thin strings, and the wood had thinned over the year and burrs were starting to show from the fret ends.
