A guide for this piece: about $861, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.

The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.

With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

A gold-coloured finish frames the Sustainiac driver and bridge DiMarzio Satchur8 of this Ibanez JS1GD.

The Piece

Serial F2500473, an alder body, three-piece maple/bubinga neck and rosewood fingerboard with 24 medium frets. This is a different pickup system from the JS2GD's Satch Track/FRED arrangement, not an interchangeable Gold Boy specification. Its250 mm fingerboard radius is a model value, not a newly measured setup. This individual instrument was historically display stock and may have been trial-played. Metal-like appearance comes from finishing wood, not a solid-gold body.

Fingerboard: Rosewood, mother-of-pearl inlays,24 medium frets
Radius: model 250 mm (9.84 in), not a fresh measurement
Neck system: Sustainiac driver with Stealth PRO preamp

Finish: Gold-coloured finish on wood, not solid metal construction

Condition

Display condition without a letter grade. Slight dirt and rubbing from display/trial playing were possible, and the gold-coloured finish has material and process limitations. Those limitations do not excuse every later scratch or impact. Current Sustainiac modes, power supply, pickup switching, tremolo and neck relief remain untested. Case and documents are pictured, without independent matching or a complete factory-set certification. See Japanese condition ranks.

Authenticity & Care

A qualified luthier should inspect the neck, fretwork, hardware, electronics and any repaired or cracked areas before regular playing. Keep the guitar supported in its fitted case, away from abrupt heat or humidity changes. Avoid abrasive polish, especially on mirror finishes and plated parts. Setup measurements change with strings and environment.
