Here's my black Ibanez Thingy. I've never found out what its official title is, but I bought it second hand from a shop in Coventry cos i liked it. It looks and plays very nicely, but it has a quite odd looking bridge and tailpiece combination that don't appear to do anything beyond what a normal set would. I can live with them though, I've seen worse (a LOT worse).

I like the look of that one very much!

Good. Only just played it a bit through my practice amp but a much better match with the neck single coil and generally clearer, less harsh than the original Fender bucker. Big improvement all round.

The 'Jellycaster'....

I'm really enjoying this guitar - cost me £25 (well, around £100 with upgrades).

Looks like an ART series of some sort, although I've never seen one with that body shape. Some sort of signature model for a player I have no knowledge of? (Probably someone under 30 who plays in one of those new-fangled pop-nu-metal bands, or something… )

The bridge appears to be a little more 'solid' than a standard tune-o-matic, while avoiding sharp edges to snag your hand on while palm-muting (or maybe Townshend-style windmilling), and the tailpiece is intended to make string changes quicker - they've been using that design since the 70s.

And @Andyjr1515

After a good search through tinterweb for back catalogues and the like, I think I have found it - a 2007 ARX 140, with mahogany set neck, mahogany body and maple top. They call the bridge a Gibraltar, and the tailpiece a Quickchange. It's not a signature model, at least not according to the catalogue I found here -

It only cost 190, I think or 210, can't remember which. I like it.

Aha! Close - it's an ARX120… better inlays, body binding and no chamfered cutaways.

It's nice, whatever it is!
