Ibanez 1976 Single cut Black-NICE ! 1976 Black

You are bidding on a vintage (1976) Ibanez electric guitar-this model, more than any other copy guitar Hoshino introduced, caused Norlin (Gibson's Parent company) to issue a "cease and desist" order back in 1977...

This guitar is a copy was produced in 1976, but with the new Gibson approved headstock .

This guitar represents one of the more popular builds that Fugijen ever produced-these guitars really got Gibson nervous-first visual copies that were -some may argue-made to a higher quality standard as the Norlin Made in USA product. This guitar features :

Old School Logo treatment
Mahogany block body
 Epiphone pickups

This guitar could use a good cleaning ,  and some upgraded tuners-the stock tuners work well enough, but they were kinds cheap..

This "Player" guitar is covered with tiny pick scratches, pings and bings that come with a working 45+ year old guitar.  Look at the pictures-its all shown.

This guitar is in good condition and is a great looking head turner and a fantastic sounding guitar ! In addition to the expected small pings and bings from a 45+ year old this guitar has a small repaired blemish on this - an ancient repair to the lower bout of the guitar-not the prettiest of repairs (can be made to look better) but its stable and has been for at least 15 years, some laquer cracks and a fair share of small blemishes typical of a guitar of this age-this guitar is a PLAYER and priced accordingly,,,

This guitar has a few lacquer cracks around the nut, the neck pocket and around the control knobs. -its all stable -just ugly.  This guitar is a great player AS IS....or restore it to original-its got great bones ! 

This guitar is part of a large collection and has spent most of its life in storage. ...The frets do show some minimal wear, but those 70's Ibanez frets are fat and tall and can handle a couple of dressings/crowning as you wish.

This guitar is a fantastic player as is-the vintage Epiphone pickups (not original to the guitar , but very decent Epiphone pickups from an Epiphone LP..sound just awesome ! All the vintage snarl and bark yer lookin for ! ! Play it as is, or use it as a platform to find that perfect tone...
