You are offered a very rare guitar in this 1986 Ibanez Artist AM70CS that is in great condition for a 31 year old guitar.  The AM70 was only offered for two years, 85 & 86.  It was only available in Black in 1985 and Violin Sunburst (VS) and Cherry Sunburst (CS) in 1986.  I purchased this guitar from a Japanese Collector about 10 years ago.  It was represented as a Factory Prototype that was given to one of the production team members.  This guitar is not Serialized, nor does it have a Label inside the body, as you would expect to find on a production Artist of this era.  If you Check out Vintage Ibanez Catalogs On-Line, you will see this model in the 1986 catalog.  The Tuners have been change out to Grover "Black Chrome" and a Schaller Model 455 Bridge is installed.  This bridge is superior to the factory bridge in vibration transmission and adjustability.  I have the original bridge which will be included. I am not sure about the Tuners, I will look for them and will include them if they are located. This guitar looks and plays great and is a Killer Blues Axe.  The IBZ Humbucker Pick-ups have Triple Magnets and sound great, they can really wail.  Overall she is in very nice condition.  The smaller AM body is really comfortable to play.  Give the pics a good look and ask any questions before you bid.  The frets are nice and the neck is straight.  Comes in a newer Ibanez AM style 5-Latch case.  Check out my Feedback on guitars....100% positive.  You can bid with confidence, this is the real deal and would be a great addition to any Ibanez Guitar Collection.PS; Sorry about the pics orientation, these were taken on my wife's IPod and I was unable to change the position.
