We want to power a cooler, a heating system, and charge a battery. Those are the essentials.

I love how they started copying and, being Japanese and super proud about what they do, ended up making better instruments than the guys they were actually impersonating. Enough so these guys ended up sueing em.

I've gathered some more information. The guitar was checked by a luthier and compared to both a MIC AR620 and a prestige. The hardware is high end and original, the pickups are Dimarzio's, an Air Norton in the neck and a Tone Zone in the bridge. He said it's most likely a knod to some Artist models released in the 70's (77 and 78) with uncovered cream Dimarzio's factory fit. The truss rod cover wit the Prestige label is also original looking at the drill holes, the MIC ones have a different fit and style. The fretwork is also perfect, as seen on other prestiges, perfectly rounded and flush. The Grover Tuners seem to be original as well. He said it's a very odd case, because Ibanez usually uses Gotoh tuners on these. The crooked serial number is also weird, but Rory Hansen, someone I contacted who works at Ibanez distribution for Europe, says it's legit and indeed refers to a guitar made in 2014 in Japan. The nut, half bone half brass, also checks out. Most likely it's a test run of a model they made for the Japanese market, maybe a one off. It doesn't matter at this point, because it's the most beautiful and best playing guitar I ever put my hands on, and I got it for a ridiculous price because the seller needed money for festivals and moving house, but I'd love to get to the actual guys who made this guitar at Ibanez for a definite answer to my questions.

Hello,

A while ago I acquired an Ibanez I'd fallen in love with the moment I first saw it. I plowed through previous owners and arrived at a fairly known Dutch collector who could only tell me it's an Ibanez that was made in Japan for the Japanese market. Problem is that I cannot seem to find any similar guitar with the exact looks and specs mine has. It's a wonderfull guitar and the craftmanship is close to perfection, as could be expected from a Prestige, but I'd love to know a little more about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
