I have recently stumbled upon the world of the Ibanez S series, and I immediatley became a fan of the line and have set out for a search to find the best S series within my budget, really below $400 or just about that. Through my searching I came across a blue s series that had the words "Custom Made" imprinted on the neck, as well as these pickups that had "US" on them. Since I had just gotten into the S series, I didn't know whether I should buy the guitar, for it was $399, so I put it off. Today, I came across the exact same guitar for $1,100, the exact one. I soon found out that the guitar I saw at the guitar store was an Ibanez USA S Series Custom, with the blue finish, and HSH pickup configuration. I do not know much on this guitar or the history of the S series, but I am doing my Ibanez homework and my research on this guitar. I am looking for opinions on this guitar, and whether I SHOULD buy it for $399, right below my budget cut-off line. I will upload pictures of the guitar from the auction, and also, the one at the store was semi-used, though no major scratches or dents and all electronics in working order. So, let me know what you think!
