🔥 HOLY GRAIL ALERT: 1986-87 Ibanez Proline PL1770 - Gold Pearl Finish 🔥

THE LEGEND THAT STARTED IT ALL

Step into guitar history with this stunning Gold Pearl PL1770 - the crown jewel of Ibanez's legendary Proline series! Only produced for TWO YEARS (1986-1987), this is the guitar that established Ibanez as a serious player and paved the way for the iconic RG series. When these surface, collectors MOVE FAST.

ULTRA-RARE SPECS THAT MATTER: ✨ Body: Premium alder with offset double cutaway and rounded contours
✨ Neck: 1-piece oiled maple with lightning-fast Proline profile (precursor to the famous Wizard neck!)
✨ Fretboard: Luxurious ebony with stunning abalone dot inlays, 22 jumbo frets
✨ Bridge: Original Ibanez Edge tremolo system with Top-Lok III locking nut
✨ Electronics: Revolutionary 5-button pickup preset system PLUS traditional 5-way selector
✨ Pickups: IBZ triple-magnet humbucker (bridge) + Super 7F single coils (neck/middle)
✨ Controls: Master volume with push-pull coil tap, master tone

WHY THIS GUITAR IS LEGENDARY:

  • The Edge Tremolo System: Advanced double-locking design that rivals Floyd Rose (these sell for $200+ alone!)
  • Dual Switching Systems: 5-way selector AND 5-button preset matrix = infinite tonal possibilities
  • Coil-Tap Capability: Split that bridge humbucker for even more versatility
  • That 80s Stratocaster-Plus Vibe: Classic single-coil chime with humbucker punch when you need it

HONEST CONDITION REPORT: This 38-year-old warrior shows its battle scars with pride! Minimal cosmetic wear that tells the story of decades of great music. Yes, there's very slight damage at the back of the headstock (see pic 7) - completely cosmetic and doesn't affect playability AT ALL. The pickguard shows typical stress cracks near the knobs (standard for 80s guitars) - adds character without compromising function. Frets show honest playing wear but plenty of life left. Currently set up with buttery-smooth low action.

THE BOTTOM LINE: The PL1770 was discontinued after 1987 along with the entire Pro Line series, making this a true collector's piece. Made in 1986, the PL1770 Pro Line was way ahead of its time and represents the peak of Japanese craftsmanship from Ibanez's golden era.

Don't let this piece of guitar history slip away - Gold Pearl PL1770s in this condition are borderline mythical. Your tone, your collection, your legacy awaits.
