Ibanez AR-30 Black
Gig bag included
1983 Antique, classic Japanese Ibanez quality

A very rare vintage Ibanez classic, only made in 1982-83 for the 1983 model year. This particular guitar was manufactured at the Terada plant, Japan, in late 1982. 

AR-30s were manufactured in black, like this one, and in sunburst. My understanding is that the total production run in black was about 800 guitars. 

These are hard to find, much prized, and you can see why- plays great, looks great, sounds great, fantastic build quality. 

And, with who-knows-how-many of those 800 instruments left after 35 years, a pretty exclusive little club of owners. Here's your chance to join!  

Japanese Ash body and Maple neck with neck-through construction for sustain like no tomorrow...
Plays and sounds fantastic- frets and fingerboard are in great shape- neck is absolutely top notch, feels like a million bucks!

Two humbuckers for a muscular and well defined Les Paul-like sound, and split switch for single-coil versatility. 

The rear mini-switch doesn't seem to be functional. I believe it's supposed to be phase switch, but I don't notice any difference between positions. 

Overall nice condition, a few scratches and dings here and there, finish on the tailpiece is worn, a little corrosion on the jack plate.

Please feel free to ask any questions about this rare beauty, and thanks for looking!
