Ibanez DT250 Destroyer II – Made in Japan (mid-1980s)

Striking red finish with highly sought-after matching red fretboard - a rare and eye-catching vintage Ibanez from the golden era of Japanese production.

I’ve owned this guitar since around 1990. The previous owner bought it new and only used it for a handful of gigs.

Since I’ve had it, it has never been gigged and has seen very little use, which is reflected in its condition.

Condition

  • Very good condition for a ~40-year-old guitar
  • A few small chips and light surface marks (shown clearly in photos)
    - These are all minor and in most cases barely noticeable
    - They do not affect playability in any way
  • Replacement tone control (very close match - only noticeable on close inspection)
  • New tremelo arm
  • No case is included

I’ve included detailed photos so you can see everything clearly.

Setup & Playability

The guitar had a professional inspection and setup a couple of years ago, with no issues identified.

  • Electrics all working perfectly
  • Plays beautifully
  • Comfortable and well-balanced
