This is a custom painted 2000 Ibanez Gio. The front plastic had to be replaced and this appears to be an older model, so it didn’t quite fit the same as the previous. But it covers everything and lines up hardware wise. Like the front plastic, the back plate also didn’t quite fit but does cover everything. This one glows under black light as well. The humbucker, tremelo, and knobs were also replaced.
FAQ:

First and foremost, while I treat this like a business, this is what I do to keep busy. It keeps my mind off stuff and helps me grow my own collection. I’m just having fun. 

I prefer cash but can take Venmo/PayPal. Local pick-up/meet is in Exton, PA 19341. But I am willing to meetup for those who live farther away. I can ship through Reverb. I test every guitar before I package it up to make sure everything is in working order, then I tune it down. I’m not responsible for issues that are created by the shipping company. I may use an inner box or gig bag to ship, and these may not always be the best gig bags. I’m selling the guitar, not the gig bag/box. I do my best to protect the guitar, and especially the neck, with packing paper and bubble wrap. My only goal is to get the guitar to you safely.

Usually, I like to find guitars that need work. Some need more than others, but I’m really just trying to take a guitar and turn it into something special. I try to be as honest as I can about everything. I use high-quality paints for the hydro dips. They’re not cheap. Neither are the parts I sometimes require. 

I use SprayMax 2k Glamour to clear coat my guitars. Each gets a full can. Sometimes I put it on smoothly. Other times, I flood it to get a rippling effect (what some call orange peel). I consider it part of the artwork when I do this. Either way, I do not wet sand. Some people buy my guitars and relic them. Others build up the clear coat more and then sand and wet sand. Many leave them as is. Some use them as a base and mod/upgrade them. Again, I’m just trying to have fun doing something I love. They’re structurally sound, and that’s what matters. What you choose to do with after the fact is up to you. More info here: https://reverb.com/item/94634274-paint-job-for-your-guitar

I do accept trades, but I usually don’t go for the same for same one for one trades. Reason being, I’ve put money into getting these guitars back up and running. I like to recoup what I put into them at the very least. In cases like that, a cash/trade can work. If it’s something I want/need for my collection, I’m often more open to the trade. Things I’m currently looking for: a Sunlife pedal, Whammy DT, Heavy Empress, a resonator, a 12 string, a lap steel. Have a trade offer? Let me hear it. Always interested in guitar/music gear, but will listen to all trade or partial trade/cash offers. Check out my other listings as I usually have multiple guitars/gear available: 

I also have a Facebook page where I sometimes post guitars as I’m working on them, including sometimes TikTok videos:
