Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: A crack was present on the [crack location] of the guitar. As such our luthier stabilized, filled, and refinished the affected area. The crack(s) were present around the nut of the guitar. The fingerboard had come unattached and unglued from the rest of the neck. Our luthier reglued and reseated the fretboard. Some of the frets were coming out of the fretboard, and our luthier reseated them and glued them into place. No further work was required. 

Step into a world of incredible tone with this Ibanez SS300 Artstar, a truly beautiful hollow body guitar with a solid spruce top and exquisitely flamed maple back and sides. A testament to its superb playability, this instrument has been meticulously restored by our luthier, with professional care given to the neck and fretboard to ensure it is absolutely rock-solid and plays like a dream. The 5-piece maple/walnut neck is a comfortable complement to the bound ebony fretboard, adorned with stunning acrylic and abalone inlays. This is not just a used guitar; it is a unique investment that has been nurtured for a lifetime of musical expression. Its classic gold hardware and two Super 58 humbuckers complete this masterpiece, ready to deliver rich, nuanced tones!
