Check out this stunning 1981 Ibanez AS55 Artist in cherry red. If you know your Ibanez history, you already know this one’s special. The AS55 wasn’t in the regular catalog, and they only made them for a short stretch in the early 80s.
What makes it so cool?
Made in Japan at FujiGen during the golden years of Ibanez craftsmanship.
Slightly smaller semi-hollow body than your usual AS series, which makes it super comfortable to play while still giving you all the resonance you want.
Laminated maple body, birch neck, rosewood fretboard, bone nut, VelveTune II tuners—it’s got all the classy touches.
Condition:
It’s in excellent shape for a guitar that’s over 40 years old. Frets are smooth, finish still shines, and everything works as it should. It comes with a hard shell case, so it’s safe and ready to go wherever you need it.
If you’re after a vintage semi-hollow that’s not only collectible but also a total joy to play, this is it. These don’t pop up very often, and when they do, they don’t stick around.
