Excellent condition Ibanez RG8570Z in Black Onyx finish. This is a 1st year (2008) with the Ibanez Edge Zero ZPS3 tremolo & rosewood fingerboard. Only has 3 dings on the backside of the body (see pictures), 2 near the bottom of the guitar & 1 on the smaller horn/cutaway, other than that it is in flawless condition. No dings on the head, back of the neck or front or side of the body. There is a little fret wear but plenty of life left.

The pickups were changed as 1 of the originals needed replacing a while back. The replacements are Dimarzio Evolution full set (HSH), which were a great improvement to the original Air Norton, Blue Velvet & Tone Zone. The Evolutions are a slightly higher output & they sound phenomenal in this guitar. The trem block was replaced with a brass block to add more sustain & volume to the guitars sound, which was also an improvement. The volume & tone controls have been replaced with an EVH Low Friction 500k pot, a no load 500k tone pot (which is ideal with the knobs not having numbers) & the stock capacitor was replaced with an orange drop capacitor instead of the cheap ceramic 1 supplied as stock. It also has a treble bleed installed. The Zero part of the trem has been removed, to give a more natural feel & help the trem flutter more. The original Zero bar & springs will be included if you wish to reinstall them (very easy to install).

The guitar comes with the all the original parts, except the pickups as 1 was damaged & beyond repair. It also comes with original Team J Craft J. Custom hard case, allen key tools, certificate book of authentication & a Dimarzio cliplock black strap (all pictured). It also comes with a spare tremolo bush ring to keep the trem bar from flopping & the 1 included is brand new.

I would prefer the buyer to collect from London, but I would also be open to sending the guitar via courier. I'm open to serious & sensible offers. This listing is a sale only, I am not looking for trades.
