Ibanez Lari Basilio Signature LB1-VL, Made in Japan 2018 - Violet, with Original Prestige Hardshell Case

A beautiful Japanese-made Ibanez Prestige signature model for Lari Basilio, finished in a stunning Violet color that looks even better in person. This is a super inspiring guitar — lightweight, comfortable, extremely well-built, and very easy to connect with right away.

The guitar is in very good overall condition with only minor cosmetic wear from normal use, including a few small finish marks and one small chip on the headstock. Overall, it is very clean and has clearly been well cared for.

Tone-wise, this LB1 is incredibly versatile. The pickup setup gives you everything from glassy single-coil sounds to fuller, warmer humbucker-style tones, making it a great choice for fusion, pop, rock, blues, worship, studio work, or pretty much anything where you need one guitar to cover a lot of ground. It sounds open, musical, and very balanced across all positions.

The pickup selector switch has been replaced with a genuine original Ibanez switch, so everything works properly and feels factory-correct.

Includes the original Ibanez Prestige hardshell case and original case candy.

Please note: the rear tremolo cover is missing, the tremolo arm is aftermarket, and the switch tip is missing. These are minor and inexpensive parts, but we always prefer to mention everything clearly.

As with all our guitars, this instrument has been carefully inspected, professionally set up, and is ready to play. We love guitars, and we do our best to make sure every instrument we sell leaves here playing and feeling the way it should.

The following work has been done: full fretboard cleaning, fret polish, pickup height adjustment for balance and clarity, and a fresh set of D’Addario 10-46s installed. String height at the 12th fret on the low E is right at 2.2 mm - set for comfortable playability.
