We have here the ridiculously sized Ibanez Nashville - what a beauty! These Super-Massive Mojo Machines were made in the early sixties and look like something that could of been brought down from Jack and the Beanstalk - raided from the giants' guitar stash no doubt!! A rare guitar these days with only one or two generally available for sale per year.  Hailing from the fabled FujiGen stable in Japan, with excellent build quality and classic nitro finish yielding plenty of laquer checking and lots of patina, she has a very relic'd look which is just fantastic really. Many stories to be told there. We have fully restored and refurbished this wonderful guitar for your pleasure. The neck angle has been restored and the action has been set for optimum tone and projection. There is plenty of room on the bridge and saddle to bring the action down further, currently set for optimum tone and projection - 3mm at 12th - 1mm at the 3rd fret. Cosmetically there are lots of signs of use and a steady, well earned patina throughout, looks very cool depending on your taste. Strucurally in good condition, will not need a neck reset for another 30 years or so. New compensated hand made bone saddle fitted, plus some nice ebony and abalone pins for enhanced tone. She has a magnificent tone reminiscent of the baritone sounds made by the Mexican Guitarron kind of body. Has plenty of grunt and a mellowed open mid and treble registry - a joy to play and to hear. The D neck is quite chunky and suits the well built player in possession of large hands, and not for the timid, once the size is mastered this old darling is a real secret weapon…. The case shown in the photo's is a 12 string case - look how it makes short work of the available space!….  See also the last photo, making the Martin Dreadnought next to it look totally puny.  Almost mythically rare, this guitar shall not fail to entertain, look cool, sound fantastic, appreciate in value and bring other good things your way….
