About this listing
This Ibanez JS 20th Anniversary is in excellent condition and comes complete with the original case candy and the meet and greet goods Joe provides at his concerts. I purchased this guitar from the person who met Joe and had it signed.Please note the following:This guitar has been stamped as "used" on the top of the headstock and a new serial number over the original. This "used" stamp can be added by either the factory or an authorized dealer. I think this one was marked used by the factory as I have another JS20th (see listing in store), and it has the same stamp and printed serial number. From my research, it could mean there was a flaw that kept it from being mint or possibly a demo/floor model. Because they have the same new serial number style label, I think it was due to the chrome Silver Surfer becoming tarnished. These guitars are known for the chrome Silver Surfer not looking so Silver Surfer, haha. Anyways, it does not have any visible large flaws beyond the discoloration of the Silver Surfer.I want to say this guitar is unplayed, and the original strings are on there, but I don't know. The previous owner had it in a display case with all the case candy. There are some light scuffs on the back. I was not able to get them to come out on camera but could have been caused by placing it into a display case. But the frets and fretboard look brand new and I had to buff the fingerboard under the strings as it seemed like there was some oil or chemical from the finishing process that slowly leached out of the wood and built up on the surface over time.This guitar has lived in its case the entire time I owned it and it lived for a short period of time in a display case. From my knowledge, it has always been in some sort of case.The Surfing with the Alien CD has been opened, but the discs are in like new condition. When I noticed it was opened, I listened to the second CD because I had never heard it before. And of course, it was awesome! Neither of the JS20ths I have included an Ibanez mutli tool with the red plastic exterior. I have some newer JS JCraft models that did come with it but I don't think they included them at the time.It lived in a case, always climate controlled, and with silica packets. No animals or smoking. All around it's as good as it could get besides the Silver Surfer being tarnished, some light scuffs on the back that I can't get to show up on a photo, and the CD being opened. And the case has a couple imperfections I tried to get pictures of such as a scratch on the corner and a few scuffs on the top and bottom.Below is taken from the internet lol- the URL will not show upThe JS20th is a solid body electric guitar introduced by Ibanez in 2008. It is a signature guitar of American guitarist Joe Satriani and commemorates the 20th anniversary of Satriani's relationship with Ibanez. The JS20th is produced in Japan by FujiGen. The most striking feature of the JS20th is the three-dimensional inlaid representation of the Marvel comics character Silver Surfer on the guitar top. Silver Surfer also appeared on the cover of Satriani's Surfing with the Alien album. The JS20th features a basswood body bolted to a maple neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with abalone dot position markers. Components include an original Edge double locking tremolo bridge with a locking nut, dual DiMarzio humbucking pickups mounted in chrome pickup rings, and Gotoh tuning machines. The JS20S is a less expensive version of the JS20th. It lacks the 3-D inlay, has different components, and was produced in South Korea rather than Japan. Just 300 examples of the JS20th were produced, making it one of the more exclusive Satriani signature models that have been produced.AdvertisementSpecificationsSpecifications for JS20thModel name: JS20thYear(s) offered: 2008Sold in: WorldwideMade in: JapanFinish(es): Silver SurferBodyBody type: Solid bodyBody material: BasswoodNeck joint: Tilt JointBridge: Edge tremoloKnob style: Knurled metal domeHardware color: ChromeNeck profile: JS PrestigeNeck material: 1-piece mapleFingerboard material: RosewoodFingerboard inlays: Abalone dotFrets: 22 / 6105Nut: Top-Lok IIIMachine heads: Gotoh SG381String gauge (factory): .009–.042Electronics Pickup configuration: HHBridge pickup: DiMarzio FRED (H)Neck pickup: DiMarzio PAF Pro (H)Controls: Global volume (w/ push-pull high pass filter) / global tone (w/ push-pull coil-split) / 3-way toggle pickup selector
