Up for sale is my approx.12-month old Ibanez AS153 guitar with a sunburst finish. This is in as close to mint condition as you can get and has no dings, scratches or visible fret wear anywhere. The the factory-fitted Tri-tone switch allows the neck humbucker pickup to be switched in Parallel, Coil-tap or Series with the bridge pickup so a very wide range of tones from mellow jazz to Tele treble are instantly available. The Super '58 humbuckers are particularly good for overdriven Blues and Rock tones. The action is low and fluid and the neck is incredibly smooth and easy to play. The guitar has only been used infrequently at home (non-smoking & no pets) as I have six other guitars to choose from. Photo's are shown below.

There are plenty of rave reviews about the versatility of this guitar on the internet together with sound samples and demo's on Youtube.

  • Pick guard: Flamed Maple Acrylic

The UK street & internet price is around £850 so, given the outstanding condition of this guitar, my fair asking price is £475 £450 £425 providing the buyer collects from West Oxfordshire/Wiltshire border. You are welcome to come around and try it and will probably be amazed by the quality of construction and how easy it is to play. I would be very reluctant to post a semi-hollow guitar even though it comes with a hard case. I am not looking for any trades for this guitar. Any questions please send me a PM.
