This custom Ibanez would make Steve Vai and John Petrucci proud! This guitar is a STUNNER! No guitar on this planet like it! A true original creation by HERC FEDE. It is a "VAI meets Petrucci swirled JPM MC1"! It is a tribute to two of the most amazing guitarists of all time! WOW! 5 color muticolor swirl finish with Picasso face graphics, disappearing pyramid inlays and cool puple/black humbuckers. The body is a customized basswood Ibanez body (RG570 or 760?) THe middle single coil cavity closed up to have the two humbucker look. 3 way toggle switch. The neck is a maple Wizard neck with rosewood fingerboard and 24 frets. Frets in overall decent condition with minor wear. New strings will be included (d'addario 09's) and the buyer will be responsible for stringing it up and setup to his/her taste. Tremolo is Ibanez Edge for great tuning stability. Black original hardware in great condition. Knobs are shocking pink! THe pics don't capture the fluorescent color well. Strap buttons are the locking type. The only minor flaw is what looks like light dust specks in the clearcoat in certain areas of the black graphics...probably dust trapped in the clear which is not unusual when refinishing black on instruments. You can't really notice them unless your are seaching for them or are in super bright light. I just want it to be known that this is not a stock, mass-produced factory guitar but the creative work of an artist, tiny flaws and all. The logo was also redone in bright blue to compliment the colors as well. The swirl is beautiful and the pyramids are excellent. The color scheme of the guitar overall is stunning. Comes with black hardcase and tools for setup, etc. Don't miss out on this true one-of-a-kind! Price all the services/work done to make this instrument and you will realize how much work went into this work of art and why it is a collector's item for lovers of the swirl finish and JPM graphic guitars! It's a kind of G3 tour guitar...well, G2 since it doesn't have satch chrome or Donnie Hunt graphics! Good luck to all! Shipping is $25 in usa only. Winning Bidder to pay within 5 days of auction end. Cashier's check, money order or Paypal accepted. Please do not bid if you are not serious about buying the guitar. Please check out my other auctions on guitars! On Jul-19-01 at 12:53:22 PDT, seller added the following information: I need to clear up any confusion about this guitar. It was
an Ibanez RG570 made in Japan. Everything is stock Ibanez on
it except the custom artwork/refinish and custom inlays done
by Herc Fede, a guitar refinisher/artist from Philadelphia. It
is Herc's own guitar that he customized for himself but is now
auctioning off here on ebay. I do not want |
