Controlled by 1 volume, 1 tone pot and a 5-Way blade switch. The 25.5" scale length neck has acrylic disappearing pyramids inlays and 24 jumbo frets on a 17" radius with a UV neck profile. The hardware is comprised of cosmo black gotoh sealed diecast tuning machines with cloche heads, a top lok nut, an ibanez edge 7, and neon green top hat knobs with a clear acrylic pickguard.

"Although regular production of the guitar took place in Japan, the guitar bodies were 'swirled' in the USA creating the unique finish. This was done by Darren Johansen of About Time Design. Unfinished bodies would ship from the Japan to the US for swirling and back to Japan for clear-coating and final assembly."

This guitar is in overall excellent condition for its age. It has some light surface marks, a few very light surface scratches, a few light dimples you can see under direct light a light ding on the lower body edge. And a small finish chip at the very edge of lower neck pocket. (See pics)

Guitar is freshly setup and restrung with 10-59 strings. Includes Ibanez TSA Hard Shell Case.
