Guitar Ibanez ART420-HAM Spalted Maple with Active Pickups Electric

This guitar is in excellent condition. The serial number is S 09061669 which to the best of my research means it was made in 2009 in China. Even though it’s a 2009 model I don’t think it was played much at all. When I recently received it I had to take off the protective film that was still on the plastic covers. There are a couple of light scuffs on it where the pick guard would normally be and 1 light scuff on the back. Besides that I do not see any cosmetic marks on it anywhere. The frets and fret board are in excellent and look like they are in new condition. The fret board is nice and clean and the strings look brand new. I do not know the brand of the strings but the gauges are 9 - 42. I did everything for a set up as listed below in his ad minus the changing out of the strings plus cleaning and oiling the fret board because it didn’t need those things d 1. The tuning pegs work nice and smooth. I just put a fresh set of AA batteries in it and the electronics work great. This guitar screams heavy metal with the IBZ-LZ active pick ups. There’s no fret buzzing anywhere but the strings do sound a little rattley and it is probably because they are a very light gauge and probably not an expensive set. When I looked up to compare the pricing people were asking all types of different prices so I went with the lowest 1 I found from Guitar Center at around $450 as a comparison. Here is a write up from online about the guitar and all the specs. Description The Ibanez ART 420 is a testament to Ibanezs commitment to crafting exceptional instruments that dont break the bank.

I ALSO DO GUITAR WORK SUCH AS SETUPS AND MINOR REPAIRS. SO IF YOU NEED ANY GUITAR WORK D 1 PLEASE CONTINUE READING. IF NOT THERE IS NO NEED TO READ ANY FURTHER. If your strings are getting old and your guitar needs new 1 s, dont just change them, get a setup! After you get a setup your instrument is usually easier to play and sounds better. If you need your strings changed, a truss rod adjusted, the fretboard cleaned and oiled, the frets leveled, crowned, dressed and polished, the intonation set, the bridge h 8 adjusted, the pick up h 8 s adjusted, the stripped hardware fixed or replaced, the tuning pegs repaired or replaced, the electronics repaired or replaced, the nut worked on or replaced on your acoustic, bass or electric guitar then bring it to me. However, I am not a Luthier and I don’t normally do woodworking, fret replacements or finish repairs. Please read on for an idea of the prices I charge. SETUPS Note that there is a $20 service charge for doing a string change or set up on a guitar that I receive with 2 or more strings missing on it. The reason is because it does not allow me to do a proper pre-check and evaluate the guitar to see what work needs to be d 1. It also makes it take longer to do the work because the guitar has not been under tension and will take longer to form back into place once the strings are put on. Set ups consist of different processes and each process is necessary to make the guitar play the best it possibly can. I have listed each process and the charge for doing each 1 of them if you are not getting a complete setup. 1. Doing a setup on a guitar that when received is missing 2 or more strings. $20 2. Change out strings. $10 3. Truss rod adjustment. $5 4. Clean and oil the fret board. $30 5. Lightly clean the whole guitar, but not the fret board. $10 6. Tighten down all hardware and repair stripped wood holes. $10 7. Oil tuning pegs if needed. $20 8. Setting the intonation. $10 9. Adjusting the bridge h 8 for easier playing action. On a fixed bridge only. $5 10. Adjusting the pick up h 8 s for proper volume control. $5 Each guitar has different levels of difficulty and require different amounts of time to do the setup. Therefore, I have listed the following prices for different types of guitars when getting a complete setup, according to the bridge. These prices are for a complete setup if you provide the strings. Fixed bridge with no adjustments. $40 Fixed bridge with h 8 adjustments but no intonation adjustments. $45 Fixed bridge with h 8 and intonation adjustments. $50 Non-floating vibrato. There will be an additional $5 charge for each spring if replaced or added. $60 Floating vibrato. There will be an additional $5 charge for each spring if replaced or added. $70 ALLOWED TIME For a full set up it usually takes about 4 hours due to the wait times of fret board conditioning. In order to do a thorough job I prefer to keep the instrument for at least 24 hours which allows me the proper amount of time to keep tweaking the guitar adjustments for the best outcome. AVAILABILITY Im available most days of the week from 9 am to 9 pm to include weekends. REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT PRICES MAY VARY DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES AND CAN BE DISCUSSED BEFORE THE WORK IS D 1.

Each different way can affect the pricing. So the prices that I have listed for the nut explained in the first type. 1. The nut that is glued into place at the end of the fret board it usually is easily removed by scoring the ends and tapping it out of place. It can be shimmed to raise the actions. 2. The nut that is imbedded into the fretboard and usually breaks when it is removed. This can be slightly shimmed and usually needs replacing if the action is too low. 3. The nut that is imbedded between the fretboard and the wood on the headstock and has to be cut in 2 in order to remove it. This type of nut can have the action lowered by filing the string slots, but if the action is too low, the nut has to be replaced. 4. The locking nut system, which is usually screwed to the guitar neck and can be easily removed. These nuts are usually made of metal and if worn out need to be replaced. However, they are easily shimmed in order to raise the action. If you are getting the nut work while having a set up d 1, there is a $10 discount If the nut needs replacing, I can do all the measuring and the ordering for the new nut for $20 I will order the nut to my house for a deposit of $20 Modifying the existing nut by shaving and or slotting it to lower the action. $20 Replacing the nutif you provide the new 1 and the old 1 is still present.
