Oh man that was fun! A terrific night and one of the finest venues for a Creek Show.

Those are two of the sweetest guitars ever created. Of the 84 that were originally made we have located 11 that still exist today. And… that has taken years and years of searching. Scott, yours is in fact the earliest/oldest that is known. If anybody knows of another we would love to hear from you!

Next time the Alembic, I promise.

Thanks!

Awesome guitar. Musician series was developed with Weir’s input and Jeff Hasselberger from Ibanez who worked VERY closely with Weir in designing a few models (first the 2681 then the Cowboy Fancy Artists) The MC’s were originally designed with Jerry Garcia in mind. They already had Weir playing Ibanez and tried to get Jerry too. They have a similar shape to the Irwin Wolf and Ibanez made a few MC’s directly for Jerry with his effects loop already installed. Jerry used them on a handful of occasions but ended up going back to Wolf, and then Tiger a year later. They also employed the “hippie sandwich” + Neck Through construction method which Alembic was doing at the time (and still does). One Weir “idea” that made it to the MC and was also employed on his “Cowboy” artists was the oversize Headstock. Weir maintained that the additional mass up top helped with Sustain. Don’t know if it does or not. Anyway, the Ibanez MC’s are incredibly made guitars that still hold up today. Wish I could find an MC350!

Thanks for the lowdown on your guitar Scott. Just as Zeppelin fans hail Pages les paul, or Hendrix, Clapton,or Gilmour fans cherish their strats, I hold the Ibanez 350nt in parallel esteem. Your my favorite guitar player hands down, you and that guitar and the rest of Max Creek have brought me unmeasurable joy for many years. I definately have a thirst for knowledge of anything about your gear. I knew that you controlled your coils with your tone pots,but Ive always been curious as to when but was afraid to ask and now I know.Thank you for sharing.

Nice, I saw the photo but it was cool to hear the history…especially the “Yes I have money..Dick” part. Well that guitar has brought me many good times over the last 30 years hearing you play it…so thanks for that. It is amazing how you play it so effortlessly yet it’s impact on so many has been enormious it can’t be put in words…only music.

~Cheers
