Ultra Rare 1976/1977 Ibanez 2630 - Early Production/Prototype-Grade - Original 'Flying Fingers' Super 80s - True Vintage Relic

[The Grail for Ibanez Collectors]Up for sale is an incredibly rare, authentic 1977 Ibanez 2630, widely regarded as the spiritual predecessor to the legendary John Scofield AS200. This instrument hails from the golden era of Japanese luthiery (Terada/FujiGen manufacturing).

This is not just another vintage guitar; this specific piece features an early production date (September 1976), making it a prototype-grade "Ultra Rare" specimen that rarely surfaces on the global market. It represents the pinnacle of Ibanez’s craftsmanship before the Artist series reached mass production.

[Authentic 'True Relic' Heritage]This guitar possesses a soul that no modern "shop-worn" relic can mimic. Over nearly 50 years of history in studios and on stages, it has developed a stunning, honest patina. From the natural lacquer checking to the subtle dings and hardware aging, this guitar carries an aura of authenticity that only time can create. This is true vintage—not a factory-made imitation.
