These came stock with cream pickup covers, but it cleans up nicely with these black ones! Actually looks better.

Knobs [...] aren't original anymore. Clean rear though.

And I like it better if it had the original cream covers. It sort of makes that bass, fitting well with the maple neck.

[...edit: neckplate does look original according to Jeroen, thanks]

Neckplate does look original, not all of these came with the covered QuadraLok neck joint. Mine is identical to this one. Serial number on the neck plate checks out too for an Ibanez from this era (L for the month, being December, and 81 for the year).
