Selling my much used Ibanez Roadstar ii.

I've had her since around 1993 and it was my main guitar for many a year.

Made in Japan in early 1984, it's one of the good ones, these really are great guitars, perfect moding platform.

It's marked as fair condition, it's 42 years old and been extensively used so it does have some "battle scars" none of which affect the playability or sound of it.

I changed out the original pickups in the 90's as they were a tad noisy, it's currently fitted with a matched set of wilkinson mini humbuckers, they sound excellent to my ears.

The original phase switch is currently used as a neck pickup always on, which to me is more useful sound wise.

Also fitted with locking tuners.

There is some fret wear and a slight gouge on the Fretboard at the 1st fret(see photo) this has no detrimental effects on playing, just adds character.

There are a few other dings(see photos) and an additional hole in the scratch plate where I had an additional switch fitted years ago for a coil split switch.

As stated, it is currently loaded with Wilkinson mini humbuckers, I could change them out for a set of Iron Gear single coils, if you prefer that flavour.

Might be up for a swap of some kind of musical what have you, but in reality I'm just thinning the current herd, going down a telecaster rabbit hole so 3 strats are too many these days or so I'm told.

Any questions, just message me!

Thanks for looking.
