USED IBANEZ / BTB1005 Natural 1999 Made in Japan [06]

The very first BTB model has arrived as a used item!!

This is the very first BTB model featured in the 1999 catalog.
As you know, it features a 35-inch scale and 24 frets.

An extremely rare Japanese-made model (manufactured by Fuji Gakki)
Among the very first models, this is a first-year unit featuring a 3-piece maple neck. (From the following year onward, the design was changed to a 5-piece bubinga/maple neck.)
The flame maple top is another key feature.
Please consider purchasing this as soon as possible.

It plays perfectly, and there is plenty of adjustment range left on the truss rod.
The frets have sufficient height, and there are no signs of indentations or wear.
The jack was faulty upon arrival and has been replaced with an equivalent part.
There was an issue with the tuning pegs, so they have been replaced with Gotoh GB3505s (different color), making the guitar ready to play right away.
The truss rod cover is missing.
There are signs of use, such as dents and scuffs, but it functions perfectly.

A high-quality gig case (Reunion Blues case) is included.
