Vintage 1985 Ibanez XV500 X Series Electric Guitar Rare

Hello folks! Welcome to my auction! I am just a private individual that uses Ebay to sell items that my family and I have no use for anymore! I offer a variety of different things and guarantee everything to be as described. This is not how I make a living as a good share of this stuff was bought new and we are of course losing money on it. Buy high and sell low only seems to work on Wall Street!

Offered at this auction is an Ibanez XV500 Purple/Pink Flip Flop Fantasy Electric Guitar. It has it's share chips in the paint. There is chips on all the points. It has numerous dings and scratches. The headstock lower edge was chipped off and glued back poorly, it needs to be pulled off and re glued again. There is a crack at the neck pocket. The Kahler style top mount bridge is missing the bar and has missed match fine tuners that three of are actually just allen heads but working. The pickups are the original V5's and are hot! The tuners are the original Ibanez tuners. There is no backing plate and I do not think the volume knob is original. The rear is missing the strap button. The frets are still plenty beefy and the neck is straight with a low action. It as a guitar is a solid piece and playable with the addition of new strings(not included). It was made in May of 1985 according to the serial and checks out to be accurate as it is in the 1985 Ibanez catalog, they call the color violet halfburst. It can be your seasoned stage guitar or your vintage project, you decide it's fate! Sorry no case! For me it was a pawnshop rescue and an unfinished project that I actually never started it! I hope it will have a better life in your hands! :o) Thanks for looking and good luck if you bid!

I will ship Internationally but some countries will require me to remove the neck to meet the size restrictions. These countries would include all countries in Asia, South America and Central America. Australia and Russia and its offshoots, and the Middle East. These Countries should Expect shipping prices to be $120-$140.

    These are all the things Ebay says I need to tell you so bare with me through this boring bunch of worthless disclaimers!

     Rules for foreign buyers are as follows. I will not falsify values on customs forms. Delays do to customs are beyond my control. Make sure it is legal in your country.

   Shipping price will include any handling/packing charge and insurance. Large items like guitars will require the purchase of a new box which is usually ten dollars. All items are sent insured. All these charges are included in the shipping calculator's quote! Small packages usually only have the insurance added as I can usually round up a free previously traveled box.
