    Ibanez AG85 Deluxe Figured Red Bubinga (2003) (Made in China )

    £270 + Shipping

    Back/sides: Figured bubinga (laminated)
    Scale length: 628mm/ 24¾inch
    Neck material:3-piece mahogany/ maple
    Nut:Plastic (43mm)
    Frets:22 / medium
    Tune-O-Matic style bridge with Rosewood base. (ART-1)

    Controls: Two volumes / two tones / 3-way toggle pickup selector
    Pickups: Humbucker Ibanez ACH1 (H) and Ibanez ACH2 (H)

    Dimensions:
    Length: 480mm / 18 7/8 inch
    Width: 368mm / 14½ inch
    Depth: 92mm / 3 5/8 inch

    (This is a similar size as the older 1970-80's George Benson GB10 guitars.)

    Serial Number: S03101488
    Built Nov 2023 China (Probably the Sejung Musical Instrument Manufactory in Qingdao)

    Action at the 12th fret is 1mm on the bass side and 0.6mm on the treble. (Very low for easy great playability, but the action can easily be raised higher.)

    Currently has Flat wound strings.

    All original parts except upgraded Locking Tuners (MachineHeads) ratio 1:21. I have the original Ibanez die-cast w/ half-moon buttons tuners (MachineHeads), which will also be shipped with the guitar.

    This is a truly exceptional low price guitar, very easy to play.

    I'm selling this inexpensively, as I have too many guitars at the moment and need to sell a few.

    (I have a good soft case made by TGI Extreme, but that would add an extra £35 to the price.)

    Another opportunity to laud Ibanez for their contribution to jazz guitars over the past decades. Consistent, standard-setting quality (apart from some sub-standard tailpieces) at all price points.

    Yes, Ibanez make excellent, very playable Jazz guitars. Great necks, low action and good sounds for very little money.

    This guitar has the smaller 368mm/14½ inch lower bout body like the older Ibanez GB10's, but with built in HB pickups.
