Vintage 1980 Ibanez AS100 Artist Sunburst Japan Electric Guitar
Vintage 1980 Ibanez AS100 Artist Sunburst Japan Electric Guitar
This beauty was recently purchased from the long term owner from new. It’s only been in his possession since purchasing new, so a real special example. These early Ibanez Artist guitars are some of the nicest guitars you’ll ever find. This was made in Japan in the early 1980s, 1980 to be exact. It has been recently cleaned and restrung ready for the next home. It is a real beauty of a guitar that has been exceptionally well looked after, with very little to report at all – truly stunning throughout.
The pickups had been swapped out at some point, with the replacements having coil taps (the extra switches) on them, but the originals were then put back in again. The same is with the machine heads, with the originals now back on it. Otherwise all good! Please have a close look at the high resolution photographs below, as these form part of our description.

The Music Locker prides itself on offering vintage and collectable pre-owned instruments and equipment (the Products).
We take all reasonable steps to ensure the equipment has been inspected by a competent person in the UK to ensure it complies with UK safety standards. This may mean it does not comply with the current standards in the country in which it will be subsequently used. It is the purchasers’ responsibility to ensure it is inspected by a competent person knowledgeable with the relevant electrical safety standards within that country, prior to connecting to any live electrical circuit.
It is the philosophy of The Music Locker to keep all items as original as possible, only changing original components when absolutely necessary. This includes valves, capacitors, transformers, potentiometers, frets, etc. This gives the buyer the option of tailoring to their exact needs, and may mean that the item is not operating at optimum performance levels. Therefore, your personal preference may differ, depending on your circumstances (i.e. collector or musician), and you may decide to service the item in more depth upon receiving.
The Music Locker cannot accept responsibility for any costs of refurbishment to a standard different to the one advertised.
