About this deal

These look really nice and they're not usually my cuppa tea, especially in gold.
This is possibly the only all gold guitar that I really, really like. The Fishman Fluence pickups in this are worth a listen to (Ideally in person) as they sound great, but won't be for everyone.

This is a mid-tier Premium Ibanez and perhaps a nice change from all of the ones that kind of stem from the RG shape. It's less pointy, more elegant and has some nice design features to make it comfortable to plat.

Personally, it's not for me on the whole, but I do think the price for a decent Ibanez Premium is alright actually, especially given the way the guitar market is right now

It will depend on what you're looking for. It's a bit marmite aesthetically, but hey... I bet it plays super nice.

It's got the AZ Oval C neck, 305mmR radius fretboard and 24 stainless steel frets. (Love me some stainless steel frettage) The nut it Graph Tech The tremolo is the Gotoh T1502 Tremolo. Which will be top quality coming from Gotoh. I have a 1996t in my Jem Jr and it's astounding. Most, if not all Premium models include soft case and Ibanez multi-tool. Which are super handy, as they have everything on there.

I could chat here for ages, but will zip it now

Delivery is free <--- Apart from that <--- and that <--- etc...

    It's a floating trem but not a locking one such as your typical Floyd Rose. Lovely looking axe ❤️ (edited)

    That’s a bass guitar first of all. Second, is like comparing a Ferrari with a moped both will take you to your destination

    A strat version of a Les Paul Gold Top. I would like it if I could afford it. (I'll have to stick with my PRS SE Custom 24-08) (edited)

    Beautiful axe for sure (though not sure about the I’ll-matching mother of pearl inlay on the 12h fret? Should have kept the cool ‘marker’ theme going imho). But what gets my goat really, is the lack of a hard case at this price.  Offering a soft case actually highlights how mean this is (as opposed to not offering one at all!). Still, I think it’s an absolute beaut, an looks like it’d play like a dream (which is all I’ll be doing about it, sadly!).

    I hated the inlays as soon as I saw them, then 30 seconds later I really quite like them a lot. Not convinced about the middle but it works as a sort of fun direction switch indicator.

    Weird 🤷‍♀️
