For your consideration is a very nice 1984 Ibanez Artist that I have owned for more than 20 years.
The Ibanez Artist is a very well made professional quality guitar that has great sustain and brighter than average sounding humbucker pickups. There are push on-push off style coil tap switches built into the tone controls allowing for many tonal options. This guitar plays and sounds excellent. All controls work as they should and the neck has a great silky feel and low action. It is currently strung with Elixir 10 gauge strings.
This stunning guitar is all original and the finish is almost flawless.  The Polar White has a slight pearlescence that has aged to a subtle yellow.  There are minor wear marks and dings on the body that you would expect to see on a 33 year old guitar. The major blemishes are a chip in the finish around the upper strap button and a tiny ding on the front of the body. These can be seen in the photos. The gold plating on the pickup covers has almost all worn off as is common to a guitar this age. The plating is also showing its age on the rest of the hardware.
This guitar features: 2 humbucker pickups Traditional 3 way pickup selector switch Tune-o-matic style bridge with a slotted stop tail piece The body, neck and headstock have full binding.Mahogany body with a carved maple top Set neck with a rosewood fingerboard 2 volume and 2 tone controls (one for each pickup) The tone controls have a push on-push off coil tap switch built in . 
This guitar comes with a Gibson hard shell case that has some stickers on it and a broken latch, but it will protect the guitar nicely for shipping As this is a used instrument, it is sold as is with no warranty. Local pickup is available.
