RARE - Eastwood Ichiban 6 String Electric Guitar, Version 1 Mid 2000s - $1,400 (OBO)

Absolutely beautiful and VERY RARE, more desirable, Eastwood Ichiban. This is the original version 1 model with the Mini Humbucker pickups and Wilkinson style tremolo, not the current version K2. This guitar is extremely versatile. It looks stunning and plays like a dream. The guitar has never been gigged and was rarely played. Honestly, the guitar probably has less than 10 to 20 hours hours playing time on it, at the most. Even the plastic protective covering is still on the back of the tuners. During this most recent updated photo shoot I went over this Ichiban with a magnifying glass, literally. I found two areas with extremely hard to photograph very small dimples. Upon very close inspection it looks like these were in the wood prior to the color and clear coats being applied. I am 99.9% confident that the guitar came from the factory like this, due to the fact that this guitar has been meticulously cared for, only by me, and has never bumped against anything. These areas are so minor, I doubt you would even notice them if I didn't point them out. I've owned this guitar for almost 20 years and did not notice the two areas until a little over a year ago. Also, when I was tuning the guitar up when taking it out of the case and getting it ready to take photos, the high E string broke. That being said, a Brand New set of Strings was just installed. I assure you, you will be very happy with this purchase, these two spots mentioned above in my opinion, are just very inconsequential to the beautiful condition of this guitar. In the interest of 100% transparency, I just wanted to make sure and point out every finite detail of this fine instrument's condition so there are no surprises. I want you to feel completely confident about your purchase. This amazing Ichiban has been kept in a smoke free, pet free, climate controlled environment since the day it arrived from Eastwood in Canada.
