Here is a True Shred Master Supreme! - Elevate Your Game with this Sizzling Hot Japanese Gem!


Up for sale at The Guitar Dude we have a beautiful and supremely excellent J Custom RG1680 AM in ready to shred and collector clean condition. These guitars really need no introduction to the fully baptized and initiated, and their legendary status among high-performance players is unrivaled. Like all the guitars in Ibanez's high-end J Custom line, the RG1680 is brimming with looks, tone, and playability.

The RG1680 is an RG series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 1999. It was made in Japan by FujiGen as part of the upscale J Custom line.

The RG1680 features a mahogany body with a flamed maple top bolted to a maple neck with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with offset dot position markers. Components include DiMarzio pickups with a pair of humbuckers flanking a single-coil, a Lo-Pro Edge double locking tremolo bridge with a locking nut and Gotoh tuning machines.
This particular guitar is in beautiful condition with only light swirls and extremely clean overall on the front and has one scratch on the back but overall super clean. (see pics) Like with ANY pre-owned guitar, if you look hard enough, I am sure you will find something tiny. That said, I didn't see anything and it looks to have been a collector owned, closet queen. This beauty been thoroughly drooled over by our in house staff. The guitar has excellent feel and response, plays ridiculously well everywhere on the neck, and is in primo condition......guaranteed to satisfy.

Terms For Returns & Re-Stocking Fee’s

We recognize and accept a 7 day return policy as per Reverb guidelines, BUT intentions of the return must be communicated in writing within 3 day of receiving the guitar as indicated by the tracking. Unless the guitar is not as described, ORIGINAL & RETURN SHIPPING COSTS WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. There is a 10% Re-stocking fee for ALL guitars that are returned for ANY reason outside of damage from shipping or it arrives significantly not as described. Please note that we record demo videos to make sure our guitars go out exactly as we describe them with zero issues. We understand that feeling comfortable is vital to the purchase of a guitar/bass so in any case, additional measurements or in hand descriptions are available prior to purchase/shipping. Thats said, guitars travel a great distance some times and in transit things can happen. Also guitars acclimate to new environments and this can cause a need for a new set up or minor adjustment. It is acceptable and normal if there is for instance a tiny bit of buzzing or the need to adjust a truss rod. We are in south Florida and if you are in a colder or less humid environment it is almost to be expected. Please read our feedback and see what our customers say. The guitar MUST BE RETURNED IN THE EXACT CONDITION it was advertised/received or it is subject to additional costs & or repair fees. We are not a big chain shop, I hope you understand. If you are uncomfortable with these terms please do not purchase. There are plenty big chain shops that can absorb free trials and shipping.
