Converted by a local luthier. I could chuck in the original guard and pickups too, if desired.

http://imgur.com/a/JUtt3Let me know if you're interested and I can hit you up with Youtube demos of the instruments, send specific pictures, or just generally chew the fat. If you're interested in just one, please let me know - but ideally I'd like to move them on together.
Thanks,

MIM Telecaster is gone and the wife wants to keep the Tanglewood - so only the Ibanez left. I've got the hardcase sorted for it, so adjusted properly to include sale price and postage.
Thanks,
This is the last and only time I'm going to bump this, because I'm no longer in a rush to raise funds for another instrument and given the number of time wasters on what is frankly a pretty darned good deal, it's rapidly becoming a zero-sum prospect.
Thanks,
I suppose this answers my question. Until it turns out it was him that bought it from you and this turns up on there at £800 haha.
I bought my first ever proper Japanese ibanez for a similarly low price when I was 16. Saved up my £20 a week wages for ages. I've still got it now and it's still my favourite guitar.
With regard to prices, If you look at Ebay's completed listings for 540S's they do seem to vary greatly - if it's got a sharktooth inlaid neck it goes for significantly more.
