Bassassin Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) I'm a bit gutted to have to do this because while I might be a Pikey, I'm a guitar collector geek at heart, I love these two and doubt that I will see their like again. But needs must. I can't justify having more than one 2-humbucker LP-type guitar and I'm not parting with my Westbury Standard, so these have to go. Anyway, I'd far rather sell to proper musicians than the slobbering Fleabay hordes, so here's first refusal: Part one - [u][b]Ibanez MC150DS Musician[/b][/u]: This version of the MC150 was only available in 1981 and seems to be one of the least common Musicians. The range was revised in 1982 and fitted with conventional humbuckers, instead of the Super 88 on this guitar. Anyway - this is its only known appearance in an Ibanez catalogue, all the specs are here too: [url="http://www.ibanez.co.jp/anniversary/65/3.jpg"]http://www.ibanez.co.jp/anniversary/65/3.jpg[/url] This guitar dates to January 1981 and has been well-played, but not abused. The only real damage is a chip off the corner of the headstock veneer. There are knocks, scuffs & bumps & a couple lacquer cracks, and a fair bit of buckle rash (which I've clear-coated over to prevent the finish from flaking) but the guitar is 100% rock-solid & good for at least another 29 years. Frets have recently been dressed, and I've wire-wooled them vigorously and it's a lovely player in every way. There are some non-original parts - the Quik-Change tailpiece is a new replacement, the trc is a reproduction and most interestingly, the original tuners have been replaced with 70s/80s Ibanez Velve-Tunes. This is genuinely a massive upgrade, these tuners are rare as popeshit and Ibanez collectors will pay 3 figures for a mint set of these - which these pretty much are. This is probably the best guitar I've ever owned, & NOW SOLD ON BASTARD EBAY. I'm selling because I really do need to pull my finger out & get a new rig rather than just keep whining about it, so I'm very interested in trades involving lightweight, high-power amps/cabs.
