Ibanez BTB owners - show your BTB's

[Aidil]

You may notice from the side photos of the 1606E and 1406E, that forearm cuts were cut, sanded and stained into both basses because I could not stand the sharp corner under my right forearm. I would wake up the morning after every gig with a bruised forearm. I actually called Ibanez about this issue. It's such an obvious problem. The forearm cuts turned out great through, thanks to my tech guy.

I also own the BTB7E but it is not pictured.

forgot to comment on the forearm cut issue...

Did you sand it also on the BTB7? Would be grateful if you could post a close-up picture of it.

Actually no. I did not sand, stain and gloss a forearm cut into my BTB7E. I use it mainly for practicing and writing. I have never done a 3 set gig with it yet. Also, the corner on the BTB7E is a bit more rounded, so it less of an issue.

Noice.
I love figured maples with a stain that still lets the beauty of the grain to show, but isn't necessarily on your face. My SR706 is similar in effect but with a black stain.
