LeftyJ Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Ibanez just released a unique range of 50 one-of-a-kind custom shop guitars and basses to commemorate 50 years of Hoshino USA. Some are made in their LA custom shop, and some in their Japanese shop. Most are guitars, but there are some basses among them as well. They won't be available outside the US, and there's only one of each but I thought they were too beautiful not to share 😎 Each one of them has a story, and several detailed pictures. https://www.ibanez.com/usa/special/50th_Anniversary/50-guitars.html Edited February 16, 2022 by LeftyJ 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleabag Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 That first one would be ideal to play in a forest. A snipers dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahambythesea Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 They are very cleverly engineered and the leak pattern is quite. Make a good coffee table, but won’t make it play any better. Nice grain is plenty good enough IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_lefty Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) How can they be one of a kind if there's fifty of them??! 🤔 Edited February 17, 2022 by uk_lefty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 A collection of very serious business, indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_lefty Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Being serious now.... They will be absolutely stunning to look at, hold, and to play. I do like a premium Ibanez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 They should do some with Gibson headstocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Straight into a hardcase in a climate-controlled store-room, never again to see the light of day, let alone be gigged. Manufacturers have spent years trying to accelerate the Vintage (they call it relic'ing), so now they're trying to accelerate the Rare.

Yep, instant investments, never be played in anger, what a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 If I had the money and liked any of these enough to want to buy one (I don't) I would most certainly play it and gig it (again providing that when I received it I thought it was good enough as an actual musical instrument).
