Please don’t low ball me… I am happy to keep this one and replace my personal strat with this. More than happy for people to come and play this one. If you know the EX Series, the neck and 4 position give beautiful honky strat style tones, while the bridge has some great shreddiness. The new owner can modify to their pleasure. Occasionally gives a crackle from the pots and the switch. I have serviced them with contact cleaner and it’s working well. The electronics are all original by the look of things. Tuners have been serviced and cleaned- they are the originals and hold tone well. Doing a barrel roll Thanks for the responses guys. I have thoroughly cleaned and conditioned the fretboard. So yes, it is definitely worth picking up, for around 200 or so, and especially since its the top of the line model in the whole EX series. The neck shows clear signs of lacquer damage (brown staining) and this could have been water damage, but I will never know its history. This is a rescue guitar so modifications like this should be taken with a grain of salt. The decal is slightly big (yes I know, please don’t point it out)… it’s also an RG decal, not an EX Series. Originally there were random stickers over the headstock. As such I am unsure, but my gut tells me that the somewhere along the line it was given a headstock spray. I don’t recall seeing colour matched headstocks on EX series when going through catalogues. I am 99% sure that the paint on the body is original… but the headstock is colour matched.
The bog chips and peeling is how it arrived. This was to stop the paint coming off more and also to help make the body smoother to hold. The body was rubbed back where the paint was peeling and chipped – I smoothed out with 3000 grit and compound polis. I think it’s a Fat 10 but I am not an Ibanez expert. As these came with traditional saddled Trems (2 point) I sourced a genuine later-model Ibanez trem. I plugged the post holes and drilled for the new 10mm posts. The Ibanez EX series was marketed as an experimental series from Ibanez that was started in the late 1980s. in Arts Educountries and impose a ban on such imports if ex 24JY ) cation Board. Ibanez was working with potential new factories in Korea, but wasnt sure if putting the RG name on these guitars would damage the reputation of the RG name and Ibanez. The main issue it had was that the posts had been removed and one of the post holes has been ‘hacked out’. 19SE Smithsonian Institution Board of Regents ( see H.J. The EX Bass Series 1989-1995, actually starts with the RG guitar.which was all awesome and all Japan back in 87. The paint work was as is (see the work below). This is a rescue… the point being to make it playable and maintain its history and character.

dust present on most surfaces, headstock is free from major dings or dents. Please understand this is not a “to-original” restoration. Ibanez ex series korean made 1993 metallic red. If I had this for another month and had a bigger budget I could do what is needed.Vintage Ibanez EX: You couldn’t get a relic to look this mean… this is an early Korean (89) Ibanez with killer tone and wild looks. This still needs some more tlc and love but for now she's good to go and hopefully in the future some concerns of my will get adjusted. I really do not think she's played better and I really hope Pete digs what I did, he should be able to feel right away the change. A few of the frets I seated popped back up 😂 FARKĪNYWAY I decided to instead giving up for the night spending the extra time to get her ready for Pete for pick up tomorrow giving him plenty of time to nail his practice on this beast for his gig.

Changed bridged (fixed) Includes gig bag More from Ibanez. The unseated frets are worn in alot more then the seated. The problem this old girl had and still has to an extent is unseated frets, followed by wear. The action was pretty bad for a FR equipped guitar, and tho playable very uncomfortable. The modern era of Ibanez guitars began in 1957 and the late 1950s and 1960s Ibanez. This old girl has been going strong since Pete was a teenager, oh boy did it need fret work! I've still got stacks of works to do but nothing that is pressing! The EX series produced there appeared in 1991. As I finish my mammoth weekend of work with a sore back, sore head and sore ribs I sit back with my head held high that I Matthew Ewert worked harder then I ever have to make sure I got as much as possible done to the highest standard I can deliver. Ibanez guitars have also been produced in South Korea since the early 1990s.
