MGR/AM « Ibanez Musician (MC) »
Published on 06/10/03 at 15:00Baught from a friend for 300$ Canadian, including original case which still smells old! A deal and a half for such a great axe.
This is simply a beautiful instrument. I love the natural wood grain and especially the inlays. The pickups sound great, it's a very solid and heavy guitar with lots of sustain. The gold hardware is nice, and so is the finely shaped headstock.
I have absolutely nothing but good to say about this guitar. The only problems I've had are a faulty pickup switch and jack, but for a 1978 guitar, that has to be expected. It's very heavy so I use strap-locks when using it live because it has a tendency to slip out of old straps because of the weight.
The craftsmanship is excellent. Everything is built to last, no corners cut. It's more of a jazzy guitar, but it's very versatile and performs well under any conditions. Just the fact that after more than 25 years the guitar is still in mint shape says alot. The finish is also very tough, surviving most accidents, save a few bruises.
If you're looking for a great vintage guitar and happen to stumble across an Ibanez MC, don't miss your chance or you'll hate yourself forever after.
