What makes this guitar special:  A sweet sounding, Japanese-made semi-hollow body from the late '70s.  Featuring a birch body & slender maple neck with some gorgeous birdseye figuring.  A pair of Ibanez Super 80 "Flying Fingers" humbuckers kick out monstrous tone & superb sustain.  Professionally set up by our own luthier so she's ready for action straight out of the case.Cosmetic Condition:  Aside from the hardware, the guitar is in really clean condition.  There are a few various minor nicks & dings along with mild surface scratches.  Both the neck & body binding show a lot of checking, but that only adds to the vintage charm of the guitar.  The pickup covers, bridge & toggle switch surround show quite a bit of oxidation.  We were able to clean a lot of it off, but it's still quite prevalent.  The pickguard deteriorated into pieces & one pickup bezel was cracked so we replaced it.  Despite the oxidation all the electronics & components are in good working condition.Neck:  Slender profile, 3-piece maple neck with nicely aged cream binding & black side-dots.  Ebony fingerboard with abalone dot inlays.  Frets are in great shape with practically no wear.  Ibanez Pat Pend tuners with pearloid buttons in perfect working condition.  1 11/16" half & half nut - bone & brass; 25" scale length.Body:  Double-bound, semi-hollow birch body with dual F-holes.  Ibanez Gibraltar slotted tailpiece & locking bridge with nickel hardware.  The pickguard has basically disintegrated & the bracket has oxidized, but both are included with the guitar in the case.  Guitar weighs 8 lbs 11.1 oz.Pickups:  Ibanez Super 80 humbuckers.  Bridge - 7.69K ohms; Neck - 7.77K ohms.  Dual volume & tone controls with gold knobs; 3-way toggle switch.  All electronics are in perfect working condition.
Case:  Original hardshell case included.  The inside of the case shows some discoloration where the guard gassed out, but overall is clean like the guitar.
