(ARCHIVE) Ibanez JTK30 Jet King Brilliant Silver 2009

Ibanez JTK30 Jet King, silver sparkle, made in Indonesia 2009. This one likes to party! The Jet King line was a tribute to Ibanez' early guitars; those sweet pawnshop finds with weird body shapes and a heap of charm. This was a later version of the model, which was canned the following year; they weren't made for a long time. The cool offset body shape and split pickguard is very cool; combined with the outrageous sparkly finish, quirky inlays and 60s style decal, this has a very fresh look to it. The three piece maple neck is extremely sturdy and stable and easy to get along with; it's a fun and addictive little player. The P-90 style pickups crank out a creamy, angular tone that enjoys a dollop of overdrive while maintaining a crisp clarity... perfect for sweaty punk or garage stuff. It's eye catching, but very solid: surely it's a perfect stage guitar.

Cosmetic condition notes: minor finish wear. Headstock and neck are both very clean, minor dimples only. The back and sides have no major marks, just some light scuffs. The front has no major marks, just some light play scratches on the guards. Quick note that this finish makes it extremely hard to see minor blemishes, so I might've missed some tiny marks here or there. Overall: excellent condition (9/10).
Playing condition notes: Action is low, neck is straight, intonation is good, truss rod works. All electronics tested and working properly. Frets have very little wear, 9/10 for fret life left. Wearing fresh 12-54 Moonshiners strings and tuned to D-standard.
