FS/FT 1981 Ibanez Artist

samsnead · 02-25-2009, 02:58 PM

1981 Ibanez Artist, all original no mods etc. In good shape, has some wear on the underside of the body(tried to picture it, my camera is not the best). I've always enjoyed these guitars, they have a great neck and tone. They were made at a time when Ibanez was trying to differentiate themselves in the market, not just copy others. This thing is built like a tank, nice and heavy; I really like these guitars, just dont need 4 of them.

I'll be talking it in for a set up prior soon, frets look brand new but want to make sure its ready to go.

If you have any questions or need more pics let me know.

Open to anything as long as it is of equal value

That's a nice one, Sam.

I have an '80 in Burst with the factory-installed pre-amp/tone boost and phase/coil tap switches. Here's a crappy pic, in which it looks a lot more tobacco-ish than it really is.

I love that guitar. Wish I had something to trade for that Ebony. Good luck.

I've got an '81 in Tobacco with gold hardware that I adore. I don't think I could ever let it go.
