The beginning of the story begins in the early hours of one day.The customer went online.It’s Bruce from Florida.
“Hey,Sir,how about u.I want to buy a white iceman, is it in stock?”
“It’s not bad, Buddy. Iceman of white is not in stock, but we can be customized according to your requirements”
This is the first conversation between us.
When it comes to Ibanez, everyone’s first reaction must be that most of them are Nissan electric guitar brands, but if you really want to trace back to the roots, Ibanez is actually not a brand founded by a Japanese.In 1870, a classical guitar maker named Salvador Ibanez opened his first workshop in Valencia, Spain, and his classical guitars were revered and sold all over Europe and introduced to Japan by the musical instrument company in Nagoya, Japan. Salvador Ibanez died in 1920, after which his two sons took over the company.
During the Spanish Civil War, Valencia fought several fierce battles, one of which resulted in the destruction of Salvador Ibanez’s workshop and the death of his two sons. The supply of Ibanez guitars was never sustainable, so Hoshino Gaki bought the rights to use the brand name from the surviving members of the family in Spain. Beginning in 1957, Hoshino Musical Instruments began to use the Ibanez brand directly for guitars.
From the first white Iceman, I became Mr. Bruce’s exclusive “supplier”.
His purity and cuteness are like a child, which is reflected in his dedication to “Iceman”,His home is like an “Iceman” museum,White, red, sunburst, various…………Of course, there are others like Gibson Les pual, Fender ST , in addition to these, he likes cats, but also dogs, but also hot dogs and cola.
Oh yes, he also loves warm mornings and warm afternoons…Lie down
After that, there’s the Martin D100 Deluxe Limited Edition.Martin celebrates its 1,000,000th guitar,An amazing model.(Martin produced only 50 of them, and the dorsal and side panels were made of rare high-grade Brazilian rosewood)
The biggest highlight of the D-100 is its gorgeous and exquisite setting, which uses more than 1,000 pieces of mother-of-pearl, from the headstock to the fingerboard, sound holes, guards, saddles, and body. The difficulty coefficient of the inlay of each part is graded. The pattern inlay on the back of the piano is the finishing touch of the D100, Martin STAUFFER, the lighting clock totem, the model mark Martin LOGO, the portrait of the founder C.F. Martin, and the flowers and vines constitute a sketch of Martin’s history, so the D100 is a museum-quality guitar, and it is definitely an imperial in the collection.
Fender. The Sound that Creates Legends”(Fender. The creator of legendary tones. Its history dates back to the late ’40s, and in 1949, Fender introduced the first Telecaster electric guitar, which was widely used in modern pop and rock music. We now refer to Telecaster as Tele body for short, it has the characteristics of Fanta’s clear timbre, compared to the big distortion, tele’s clean sound state is really refreshing, crisp to the mind, sweet to the heart. In 1954, Fender introduced the Stratocaster electric guitar, which became an iconic product of the Fender brand, with its unique tone and design. The timbre of the ST body is soft and singing, just like a cardamom year, a fair lady, a gentleman.
The Fender Stratocaster’s exciting tone has always been one of Fender’s signatures, with crisp highs, powerful midranges, and solid lows, as well as grainy capsules. The Telecaster’s straightforward, impactful sound, combined with a new design, will give you the true Fender experience: the feel, the look, and the sound are all in one place, whether it’s lyrical or roaring, and can be used in a variety of genres, as well as in a variety of playing situations
