Vintage Ibanez Natural Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitar from the 70s-80s 'Lawsuit Era', a Japanese copy of an ES-175.  Serial number dates it to 1976.  The craftsmen in Japan during this era meticulously copied every detail of the originals and some people even believe the finish and durability of these guitars is superior to them.  Equipped with dual humbuckers, dual tone and volume controls, and a beautiful natural finish.  Tuners & electronics all work great.  Comes with hardshell case that I believe is original. This one is in excellent, near mint condition.  Really phenomenal considering it is forty-one years old.  There is some fret wear, nothing serious, and a few very small dings or cracks in the outside finish only, barely visible unless you are really up close.  No traces of rust or patina on the metal - it is clean and shiny.  The hardshell case is in decent shape, latches work, but tolex has peeled in some areas and it has some stains.Please email any questions before bidding/buying.  I can send additional photos and those in the north Jersey area are welcome to come check it out and play it in person.  Local pickup is available and shipping cost is an estimate only - it can be made more accurate if you supply a zip code.
