Here for sale we have an Ibanez AH-10 Electric Guitar in Burgundy finish. Made in Japan in 1985, this guitar consists of a Basswood body, 1-Piece Maple neck and a 22 Jumbo fret Ebony fingerboard. Other appointments include a set of Ibanez Smooth Tuner Mini II tuning machines, a Ibanez Powerocker Special tremolo bridge. A single Unbranded humbucker is featured with simplistic controls for volume and tone.
The 1-Piece Maple neck plays exceptionally well, with the ‘AH’ profile providing a smooth and precise playing experience across the register. The neck is certainly on the slimmer side, inspiring a confident grip when chord playing and adding a sense of character to the instrument. The bolt-on neck construction and dual cutaways ensure completely unrestricted access to the upper frets, ensuring that the entire register of the instrument is within easy reach. The Ebony of the fretboard is luxurious under the fingers, and with its 17" radius is practical for a wide range of playing styles and techniques, with the Jumbo frets enhancing the feel of vibrato & string bending techniques.
The Unbranded humbucker pickup delivers deep, crushing tones, perfect for both tactical riffs and fast soloing. There is plenty of low end grunt, especially for a bridge pickup. This is balanced perfectly with a sizzling top end which will blast your lead lines and solos to the front of the mix. Rolling down the tone control delivers particularly warm and rich tonalities, working beautifully for your melodic playing, and handling a reasonable amount of gain when the mood takes you. The single pickup design and simple control layout mean that you can keep your focus entirely on your playing.
Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you. Import fees will be charged by Customs upon the guitar's arrival in the recipient country. Due to Brexit, this also applies to EU buyers. We advise checking the total import cost with Customs as this is not information we are able to accurately provide.

Aesthetic Condition:
Overall very good condition, the front face demonstrates some very light indentation close to the edges around the perimeter that do not pierce the finish. The sides and edges demonstrate consistent scuffing and indentation, most apparent along the top edge. The most notable of these, to the treble side rear edge at the top of the headstock, chips the finish revealing the wood beneath.
Overall very good condition, the rear of the neck demonstrates several instances of moderate indentation, felt beneath the thumb in playing position. One of these indentations chips the finish in the early register, revealing the wood beneath. The fingerboard demonstrates some play-wear in the early register indenting the rosewood board. This cannot be felt beneath the string.
Overall good condition, all aspects of the body demonstrate consistent indentation and scratching of the finish. This is most apparent to the lower bout of the front face where several indentations pierce the finish. Both corners of the neck pocket demonstrate some finish cracking, this is common with bolt on neck construction and does not affect the structural condition of the instrument. We recommend closely inspecting the provided photographs for a full understanding of the cosmetic condition.
