A fresh look at the 12 guitars featured in PG''s monthly Guitar of the Month column in 2010.

October - 1976 Ibanez Custom Agent Artist 2405
"This Ibanez is an example of an Ibanez рlawsuit-eraс guitar. The 1976 Custom Agent Artist 2405 in a transparent maroon finish is a great example of Ibanezуs penchant for melding traditional design with artistic flair. The maple-topped mahogany body sports a mother-of-pearl inlay at its lower bout, matched by equally extravagant MOP fretboard inlays, and a headstock shape reminiscent of their mando-design. The pickups were originally Super 80 models, but were replaced with double-cream DiMarzio Super Distortions before the current owner purchased the guitar years ago."

Plus, Zach grew a mustache, Mythos Pedals is moving, and he talks about his forthcoming line of Strat pickups inspired by Hendrix’s reverse-stagger setup.
