This is a totally outstanding example of this stunning Japanese made Ibanez 12 string from around 1976, in amazing condition.

As a playing instrument, this has wonderful playability and a deep rich sound from the solid spruce top and the mahogany back and sides. The neck is straight and the intonation as good as it gets on a 12 string. The tuners are all in excellent condition with a smooth and positive action.

​

The guitar is from an early run as it has the "hockey-stick" headstock, copying the Fender design.  Fender objected to this design, and Ibanez then redesigned with a straight end to the headstock.  This example is from the early period, and is considered rarer and more desirable

​

What makes this example truly outstanding is the condition.  The gloss finish is perfect bar a tiny mark -like a bruise on the front - see photograph.  The quality of the finish can be seen in the reflections in the photograph.

​

This is a museum quality example, and will surely increase in value in the coming years.
