USED Ibanez / AR300 Antique Violin [12]

We have received a 1979 Artist AR300.
The wood specifications feature a mahogany back and flame maple top, with a 3-piece maple neck and ebony fingerboard. Thanks to its solid, no-nonsense Japanese craftsmanship, it delivers the rich, full-bodied sound characteristic of a mahogany body, while also boasting a bright, well-defined tone with a distinct edge.

The pickups have been replaced with Lindy Fralin Pure PAFs, the Tri-Sound switch has been removed, and all internal components have been replaced.

The guitar features an abundance of original parts, including Smooth Tuner II machine heads, a Gibraltar II bridge, and a Quick-Change II tailpiece, reflecting the manufacturer’s commitment to quality. Adorned with gold hardware and multi-binding, along with gorgeous inlay work on the headstock and fingerboard, this model is a visually stunning instrument with no compromises.
Overall, there are scratches, dents, tarnish on the metal parts, and some peeling of the plating.
The frets have been dressed and have about 7/10 of their original height remaining; the neck is in good condition, and the truss rod is adjustable.
Condition Grade: B+: Some minor scratches, but no issues for normal use
