John Scofield and George Benson, made Ibanez legitimate guitars for the serious Jazz Rockers, and why not they are high quality Japanese guitars. This one has had Sperzel locking tuners installed, and two mini switches one puts the neck pickup in single coil mode and one puts the pickups out of phase with each other when both pickups are on, the bridge pickup volume knob has a push pull coil tap installed ! Plays like butter, hardly a scratch to be found none serious , and it has beautiful woodgrain. Comes with nice fitting hardshell case that maybe the original ! Comes with the original rubber ribbed knobs in the case ! Thanks again for looking !!!
