I bought this Ibanez Custom Made SR1300 as a project over a year ago and it got stashed in the cupboard during an abortive housemoving exercise but recently I decided to get to work to bring it back to its former glory. A real exotic beauty this one. The body is paduak that has sandwich layers of another wood in there too. The unbelievably slim and fast neck is a 5-piece bubinga/wenge laminated structure. The fingerboard is a highly figured wenge.

Both pickups are the superb US Bartolini P and J type, the original Ibanez pickups are long gone as is the original pre-amp which has been replaced with an East U-Retro Deluxe (passive tone pot and push/pull for active/passive operation. You will see that there is a mini-toggle switch, this is not connected but the internals of the switch are there for any future modifications. There is also an LED holder near that switch which could be used to house part of an East BLI-01 low battery indicator or similar.

You can see on the pictures that there is a small hole on the headstock fascia where someone had previously fitted an alternative truss rod cover. This can be easily filled and touched up if need be and if you want it done let me know.

This is a fantastic instrument, is extremely versatile with the amazing P/J Barts and East U-Retro and it its very light too at 7.6 lb. It has a nice medium/low set up and it intonates beautifully.

It has those special dunlop recessed straplock and it comes with both insert parts for mounting to a strap.

There's a tiny bit of paint damage on the tip of the headstock as pictured.

As far as trades go, I'm after a Yamaha BB2000, a Stingray4 or something a bit unusual with a P or P/J configuration.
