Identify USA Custom Birds eye

Kringlanj · #1 01-02-2013, 08:10 AM

Hi! I'm new here and need some help ID an Ibanez USA Custom i'm about to buy.

-The Front of the headstock says "USA Custom" on top of the ibanez logo.
-On the back of the headstock the serial 92541 and "Made in U.S.A are stamped.
-Mahogany body, maple top with some trans red finish. Matching headstock.
-Birds eye maple neck and fingerboard.
-Cosmo hardware, Edge trem, HSH pick up config. Paf pro pups. Humbuckers with mounting rings.

My thoughts on this is UCEW but the birdseye fingerboard confuses me...

We need a lot better/bigger pics of the whole guitar to help identify it. From the little I see, I'd guess a UCEW1BE TR or a UCEW1QM TR.

Hmmm maple fretboard with center pearl dots.

Ive never seen Ibanez Stamp their necks like that.

Pics are from current owner. Im going to look at it tomorrow. Ive seen these stamps on UCEW but the config on this guitar is one of a kind for me. He's asking around 7000 swedish crowns (about $1100) . Decent price?

$1100 is definitely fair if it's in good condition....... I'd buy it.

I still think it's a stock UCEW1BE. Maple necks were an option on all USA customs.

I agree with my stunt double. Looks great, and a decent price.
Love that neck, but could use some fret work.

It's odd - according to the serial number, it was made in 1992. But a configuration like this (birdseye top, maple fretboard, EDGE) was no longer featured in the 1992 catalog which only had the UCEWQM and FM variants with Lo-Pro EDGE.
