Other: We have received a Made in Japan Ibanez (Ibanez) Musician Series MC200, which, based on the serial number, is believed to have been manufactured in 1979. The color is the classic DS-marked dark brown stain, which has been and remains the most popular on the market. The MC200 was listed only in the 1978 catalog.The 1979 catalog listed the MC300 and MC500, but the MC200 was nowhere to be found. However, this particular instrument appears to have a serial number indicating a 1979 production date. Perhaps... due to factors such as high demand and limited manufacturing capacity at the time, there may have been a significant backlog of orders. Based on the balance of supply and demand, it seems there are also instruments with serial numbers dating back to around 1980... *There are various theories. This unit is now 47 years old since its manufacture. While there are signs of scratches and wear typical of its age, it is surprisingly clean. If I were to describe its cleanliness, the term "excellent condition" would be spot on. It is not in perfect condition, but with a high degree of originality in its metal parts, it may be a rare unit in excellent surviving condition.

* As this is a used item, there may be scratches, dents, or other imperfections that are difficult to capture in photos or not listed here. Please be aware of this in advance.

* Any measurements listed for the truss rod, remaining fret life, or string height were taken by our staff during setup. These values may change due to environmental factors such as climate and humidity.
These measurements are intended as a reference at the time of purchase; we cannot guarantee that the measurements will be exactly the same when the item arrives.

* This item is a one-of-a-kind product currently listed simultaneously on multiple platforms, including our in-store display. While we strive to remove product listings promptly upon sale, updates may not always be in real time.
We sincerely apologize if the item happens to be sold out after you place your order, and we ask for your understanding in such cases.
