Taking the 575 to Phil Jacoby......heard about him from a HOC member here......to fix the electrical problem and set up the 575 with flat wound 11's and add a strap pin......will report back this afternoon.....I am able to wait while he does all the repairs and set up....looking forward to my 575 sounding even better!!!!

Picture of her just for the heck of it

I was just talking about him on the Ibanez Collectors World forum the other day - he made a replacement pickguard or a GB-10 and instead of plastic in the center used ebony, it was gorgeous. I was perusing his site

the other day and I am sure you will be in great hands.

Also, if I'm not mistaken and have my wires crossed, Philtone is one of a handfull of PLEK shops on the East Coast

In some totally random way, that I unfortunately don't remember, I also heard extremely good things about Philtone. Unfortunately Ball'mer is a little bit of a hike from where I'm at. Sounds like you're in good hands, so I hope it all goes well.

Sounds like you will have a great playing Heritage when its all said and done....

Thanks all for the reassuring thoughts....can't wait to get her back and feel the difference!!!! ...

Thanks for the update..

Certainly the wait to get it together "just right" is worth the delay.

You must be very eager to get it back.... it will be 100 % and that will be awesome.
