Details & History

This is a very limited edition Ibanez USA Custom #10 from the graphic series. Limited to a total production run of 250 guitars, the hand painted design is called "Ice World". This guitar, built at the Hoshino USA plant, was made only from the end of '91 to early '92 and retailed for $1499. You can buy it now for a 1/3 of that! An incredible deal for a guitar that will never be made again and was a limited production model, meaning it will only go up in value!

Features include:

• Basswood body
• Slim, fast Wizard neck (1-piece maple with rosewood fretboard)
• Sharktooth inlays
• Jumbo frets
• Black hardware
• Floyd Rose-licensed trem (Edge)
• IBZ/USA C2 single coil in the neck
• DiMarzio Double Whammy humbucker in the bridge

Details & History

Based on the 700 series, the USA Custom series was designed to be an affordable 'custom' range. More customized then custom, you were able to select from a number of finishes, necks, inlays, headstocks, and pick up's to create a guitar for yourself. So whilst not strictly a Luthier's one off, the USA Custom's still are very sort after and collectable. Numbers are very vague and (with the exception of the early very rare pre-production runs thought to number no more then 250 pieces), extremely hard to tie down. (its up to you lot out there that have them to give us details. Please Ed!). Points to notice are the Ibanez Edge trem system, (like the early Jem's) on the Graphic series, with the option for a hard tail on the Exotic woods, and a cutaway neck joint, again like the Jem's and again the exotic woods got the AANJ as a bonus. (Why just them? Ed!). And the rather 'handily' placed volume knob right under the bridge pick up.

The 'Ice World' design is found in the 1991-2 catalogue and is believed to have been available only in this year. If you can help with further information on the guitar, please get in touch.
