1991 Ibanez USA Custom Graphic Broken Mirror

 

This is an ultra-rare USA Custom Graphic from 1991. This finish was not featured in any Ibanez catalog and I haven’t seen another like it anywhere. The guitar is loaded with DiMarzio PAF PROs in both neck and bridge positions, 5-way pickup selector w/coil tap switch, volume control, tone control, 1-piece maple Wizard neck with Sharktooth inlays, rosewood fretboard, 24 jumbo frets, cosmo black hardware, original Edge tremolo, and basswood body.

 

I originally thought I had a refinished Ibanez USA Custom Graphic but now my opinion has changed. According to Jerry at Ibanez register, this may have been a pre-production model sent out by Ibanez to establish what new finishes to go for. Supposedly, there were 250 various finishes sent out at random times for this purpose. Another possibility for this guitar is that it was a part of a very limited run made either for someone or by someone for an order.

 

This guitar was formerly owned by Jens Hausmann. I bought the guitar with the OHSC included Winter 2001.
