Ibanez A26230 Electric Guitar

Description: IBANEZ LOVERS… TAKE NOTE! This A2629/30 Ibanez Artist, the go to instrument for players like Jens Larsen and others is the perfect alternative for Gibson 335 lovers with a considerably lower price tag. As can be seen by the pictures, this Vintage1979 A2629/30* model is in near perfect condition except for some cracking and deterioration of it’s binding around the cut-away; a perfectly expected condition given the instruments vintage. All original parts including the very rare and hard to find original Pearloid tuners, excepting the pick guard which was fabricated by Repro Guitar Parts and a recently installed high-quality pick-up selector switch. Amazingly the frets on this beauty have never been needed replacing and are in excellent shape attesting to how little this instrument has actually been played over the years. A number of noteworthy things about this instrument besides it’s great looks and vintage provenance are the amazing Super 80 pickups it is equipped with (these are the hottest and loudest pickups I’ve ever used and will absolutely raise the roof!); curly maple back and sides construction, and a full length sustain block offering the sustaining properties of a solid body with the tonal characteristics of a semi-acoustic. This particular model also includes a Tri Sound selector switch© which offers and added tonal features beyond the traditional neck, bridge pick up combinations. Lastly, would be remiss in failing to point out this instrument’s VERSATILITY. For country pickers the bridge pickup produces an amazing crunch that even I as a jazz player can appreciate. Combine both pickups and you get an incredible blues, R&B option. And although not a ‘jazz’ instrument in the strictest sense of the word, the neck pickup lends itself to this style as well as finger style playing. In 2020 I had the instrument gone through as part of a restoration project. All the wiring was replaced, pots checked for the appropriate values and cleaned, frets lightly dressed and more. Dana Sutcliff of Dana Research who did the work, was quite surprised that the hardware including the fret condition was so well preserved. See attached receipt for work done totaling more than $700. The guitar comes with a new custom fitted hard shell case by Cross Rock valued at $150. Priced to sell at $2400 including Free Shipping. Instrument comes with a 7 day return policy. BUYER assumes all return related shipping, incl. Insurance. · ©Requires an upgraded 4 conductor wire Super 80 neck pick up available for less $150 through Guitar Tech Craig, Ridgeville , Ohio .
