A very beautiful, very deluxe and very rare lawsuit era, pre-serial number Ibanez Artist 2613 circa 1973 to 1975. Occasionally referred to as the Star Maple Model because of the star fret marker inlays that were only done for a few years. The Artist line became one of the most prominent guitars made by Ibanez in numerous versions and configurations. This model features a beautiful lightly quilted contoured maple top, bound rosewood fretboard with pearloid inlays that are inlayed with black stars and diamonds. The frets show minor wear but still have lots of life. The body is beautifully bound with abalone. There are some barely visible cracks in the clearcoat at the neck pocket that look to be age related. The headstock has an ornate pearloid inlay. The neck itself is black. It also features a unique and rare terraced pick guard in white, which is often missing, with one small scratch by the input jack. The chrome pieces are in excellent condition. The tuners are missing one collar. See photo. There is light buckle rash and minor scuffs commensurate with its 40+ years of age but nothing major. Pictures of this model have pickups with Ibanez embossed on the covers. The current pickups are ink stamped 24419 on the back. See photo. Overall a beautiful guitar that would easily qualify as a closet classic. Included original case has a minor separation and one hole in the plush lining but otherwise is in very good condition. The separation on the inside edge of the lid could be easily reglued. From a pet and smoke free environment. Blue tape on case is for inventory purposes only and will be removed prior to shipment.  CHECK OUT MY OTHER GUITARS FOR SALE VIA THE "SEE OTHER ITEMS" LINK ABOVE. And thanks for all the great feedback!
