Re: Rare Ibanez one of a kind prototype pre-law-suit (1976) Strat copy

Saw something about it on Ebay. I was the janitor at Bensalem, PA and altered all the drawings that were copied from Fender. That's why they will always be worthless Ibanez junk that only a clueless ebayer would buy.

: Rare Ibanez one of a kind prototype pre-law-suit (1976) Strat copy.
: Custom made at the Fuji-Gen Gakki factory in Japan.
: This guitar is an Ibanez, but it's built like a Fender with solid wood and one piece construction throughout.
: It is a prototype that Ibanez was considering for production. Because of the high quality construction, they decided it would be too expensive to build for the copy market.
: I purchased this guitar in 1977 directly from the Ibanez distribution center in Bensalem, PA when I was the manager of the repair department there. I used it for gigs and recording for a couple of years and then played it only a few times each year after that. I have recently decided to offer it for sale.
