SECOND STOCK
Seconds? - Sometimes a Second classification has nothing to do with quality. NAMM Show guitars can be seconds because they were on display for 4 days and available to pickup and play, which many of them were and will show signs of it, exactly like all guitars at the local store. They are several other reasons they will Second guitars, some are imported for special promo events that went unsold, were offered to all dealers, and went unsold. To clear the inventory they have to technically be classified as seconds to justify the discount they have to give to move them. Seconds are also Demo service guitars they need to move. Sometimes they will Second brand new guitars that just never sold on closeout to move them out. AND, some seconds have heel crack, blems, some are just cosmetically trashed. Every case I open is like a box of chocolates. All Second Stock guitars comes with Ibanez Rules Platinum Warranty. They're all superb quality.

EKM100TRD - F1415287 - SECOND STOCK - Beautiful guitar with beautiful build and features, similar to a JSM but Erics own. No description tag, needed cleaning and as I wiped the fingerprints off and the tops of the pickups clean, I find no evidence of play, the back had alot of areas with something tough that took polish to wipe off, but all wiped off, still perfect, then I catch the front top edge of the headstock. I've never gotten a Second, that was burnt. About 1/2" long by 3/16 wide, it's charred, the clear golden brown at the edges. I got no explanation. The case has some white scuffs and a tear at one end further adding to the mystery. Standard check of my NAMM files, it's the 2016 NAMM show guitar, note in the heastock pictures from the show the edge is already burnt. Knowing it's a show guitar, my bet is it was setup on the top row for the sales meetings in Bensalem, and the headstock was way too close to one of the overhead lights and over a couple days, torched it in that one spot. Don't you love mysteries? The S stamped very lightly on the back of the head. All Second Stock guitars come with 1 year Ibanez Rules Platinum Warranty.** $1800 AS IS, $1900 BRONZE, $2100 SILVER**
AZS2200FSTB_F2115418 - SECOND STOCK - The sticker is marked Chips on top, and I'm at a loss. It looks like some kid played drums on it for a minute. there's 2 chips, one 2x5mm and the other about 2x3mm, but there's about 30 tiny shallow dings mostly in 3 areas, around the bigger chip, the smaller chip, and then below the trem off the knobs. All Second Stock guitars come with a 1 years Ibanez Rules Platinum Warranty. ** $1450 AS IS, $1550 BRONZE, $1825 SILVER** - PLUS SHIPPING

LB1VL_F2204950 - Second Stock - The sticker is marked Heel crack, there's a 1/2" crack on the bass side and a 3/8" crack on the treble side, otherwise a beautiful build.

JS3CR_F2427088 – SECOND STOCK – Tag marked "Heel Crack" and I had to shoot the picture with flash to get the ¼" bass side crack to show because of the chrome. Otherwise it’s an extremely nice build. Light S stamped on the back of the head. All Second Stock guitars come with a 1 year Ibanez Rules Platinum Warranty. ** $4750 AS IS, $4900 BRONZE, $5150 SILVER** PLUS SHIPPING.
JS2480MCR_F2525396 – SECOND STOCK – Tag marked "Repaired heel crack" and I had to get out my loupe to see it, I doubt any of the pictures will show it. It’s bass side and about ¼" long but the repair rendered it virtually invisible. Great neck and build, light S stamped on the back of the head. All Second Stock guitars come with a 1 year Ibanez Rules Platinum Warranty. ** $2850 AS IS, $3000 BRONZE, $3250 SILVER** PLUS SHIPPING.
JS1's - before I'm asked *again* "What's a JS1?", a 1 is the original top line JS. It has the same specs as the JS2 (Chrome), JS3 (Donnie), JS4 (Rainbow), and JS5 (Rainforest) except for the finish. The 90' and 91's are original Edge equipped just like Joes, 92' and 93's are Lo Pro equipped. When the JS100 was introduced they changed the JS1 model # to JS1000 so that the best model didn't have a lower model # than the cheaper Korean version. All pre 98' JS1's and 1000's do not have the digitized multi radiusing to the back of the neck that copied Joe's worn neck and was introduced in 98'. All JS1's have chrome hardware unlike the cosmo found on the 1000's.

JEM7VPWH_I240908529 – SECOND STOCK – Tag marked "Flaw in cutaway" and I’m not sure if it is in the wood or just a depression in the paint but right up against the neck where you’ll never see it is a ¼" diameter spot, otherwise the guitar is perfect. Light S stamped on the head. All Second Stock guitars come with a 1 year Ibanez Rules Platinum Warranty. ** $1500 AS IS, $1650 BRONZE, $1900 SILVER** PLUS SHIPPING

JIVA10DSB_I220305167 - Second Stock - There is a nothing 2mm neck crack on
the bass side. That's it. Otherwise perfect, extremely light S stamped on the
back of the head.

TQM2CUF_F2328183 - SECOND STOCK - No description tag, I believe this was the
NAMM sales meeting or the show guitar I never got a shot of as I didn't go last
year. It's a matte finish and the only blems are 2 faint line scuffs on the
upper horn, and a very short line scuff from the corner of the neck pickup rout.
The top side of the AANJ shows some light polishing from handle or play as does
the back of the neck. Very nice build. S
stamped on the head.

Benson's
GB10BS_F2329183 - Second Stock - There is a small chip under the bass/head corner of the bridge pickup most likely from the pickup slapping down and hitting it. Under 3mm and hard to see because of the location. Extremely light S stamped on the back of the head. This line absolutely produces some of the finest guitars in the world, you can measure this against any boutique. All Second Stock guitars come with 1 year Ibanez Rules Platinum Warranty.** $2750 AS IS** $2850 BRONZE** PLUS SHIPPING
GB10SEFMSRR_W24050287 - SECOND STOCK - Description tag marked Crack under
poly - missing paint, and after a long inspection there's some of the red
missing under the clear on the side of the neck heel next to where the neck
pickup mounts, and there is a line but I do not believe it's a crack at all,
it's whatever scraped the red off in that spot and left a ridge. Otherwise this
is a beautiful build, Premium quality finishing though they are not listed as
Premiums. The tailpieces always look like crap on the plating, even most of the
Japanese guitars. Light S
stamped on the head.

Seconds? - Sometimes a Second classification has nothing to do with quality.I just purchased a large batch of 2014 NAMM Show guitars that are seconds because they were on display for 4 days and available to pickup and play, which many of them were and will show signs of it, exactly like all guitars at the local store. They are several other reasons they will Second guitars, some are imported for special promo events that went unsold, were offered to all dealers, and went unsold. To clear the inventory they have to technically be classified as seconds to justify the discount they have to give to move them. Seconds are also Demo service guitars they need to move. Some of the batch below are Seconds but thankfully I was due there for an errand when they sold them so I picked them up before they had a chance to stamp them S. Sometimes they will Second brand new guitars that just never sold on closeout to move them out. All Second Stock guitars comes with Ibanez Rules Platinum Warranty. They're all superb quality.
AZ2402ROM_F2600590 – SECOND STOCK – Tag marked "Heel Cracks" and there’s a long 1"+ crack on the bass side and an under ½" crack on the treble. This is a dealer return as evidenced by all the extra tape on the box and these cracks are almost always the result on shipping shock during delivery as they are not padded in any way when shipped. There is also light polish lines between 17 and 18, otherwise it’s a really nice build. No sink lines, good neck. Light S stamped on the back of the head. All Second Stock guitars come with a 1 year Ibanez Rules Platinum Warranty. ** $1600 AS IS, $1700 BRONZE, $2000 SILVER** PLUS SHIPPING.
AZ2203NATQ_F2315881 - SECOND STOCK - Description
tag marked "Heelcrack" with a 3mm bass side crack. There are sink lines
present on the lower front shown
HERE. Light S
stamped on the head.
AZ2204HRM_F2327275 - SECOND STOCK
- Description tag marked "Heelcrack", and there is a 3/8" bass side heel crackr. Very nice build otherwise. Light S
stamped on the head.
AZ2204NBK_F2213417
AZ2204NWVR_F2421337 – SECOND STOCK – Tag marked "Dent on side" and on the top side there’s about a 1/8" ding, not deep, just enough to make a circle crack. But, old case, 24 build, had to go to my phone to make sure but it’s the 2025 NAMM Show guitar so this dig is typical. Otherwise flawless with just the light S stamped on the head. All Second Stock guitars come with a 1 year Ibanez Rules Platinum Warranty. ** $1600 AS IS, $1750 BRONZE, $2025 SILVER** PLUS SHIPPING

New Jersey residents must add 7% Sales Tax unless guitar is shipped out of state, no exceptions!
All pricing on this page has finally been converted to Credit Card pricing to comply with regulations governing merchant accounts. All sales that predate 6/15/08 were listed as cash prices and card fees were added to the total if the sale was a charge.
Circumstances determine that some guitars are listed and sold AS IS, either because I was screwed when buying and condition did not equal price paid, or typically some version there of. Guitars that are AS IS are not just packed and shipped blind. Even AS IS guitars are tested to make sure there are no problems such as loose stud inserts that are so common to basswood guitars, or electric problems, etc. I don't sell just guitars blind. There may be some fret choking somewhere that could be fixed by action or a level still present, these aren't play tested like a fully sorted guitar, but you should at least have some comfort in knowing it has been checked for most typical problems and either had them addressed or reported so you have the option of refusal before it goes any further.
Check out the Used Guitar Primer section for plenty of tips to help you with your own guitars. This also shows part of what the guitars on this page go through before they are shipped to you. It's 9 pages of longwinded dribble, half cleaning tips and the rest setup tips, and it was alot of work, but in actuality it's quite out of date for the amount of work each guitar would receive today. Basically you'll be getting a full Pro Setup as any of the new guitars I sell would get, but also fully debugged as these are older guitars and I always expect to run into issues, on top of the fact that they're dirty and need a thorough cleaning. The link to the New Guitar Setup page can be found here.
The index folders contain pics from 3 different cameras [usually]. Currently I'm using my new Cannon almost exclusively as it does large and close ups extremely well. These will have an IMG image tage. You will find a lot of the image folders predate the Cannon. Those that start MVC are from my Mavica and are close ups. Those that start with P are from my Olympus. Typically you'd want to look at these first as they'll show the whole guitar where the Mavica shots will just be chip/ding/scratch close ups. Since M comes before P these will unfortunately be the first files listed on the pages.
Many of you have noticed this page went near 3 months without an update [again]. I have just been too busy. Always consider when ordering that I am usually in a 2 week backlog so unless you are ordering a guitar AS IS there will be considerable delays processing your order.
Some of you will notice alot of the prices on this page have gone up. With the prices being paid on ebay lately and the continuing shrinking dollar the *Global* market prices have definitely risen. Last PG10th that sold in Japan was over $3400. Last Jem10 on ebay with chrome wear on the pickups sold for $3500 with another selling in Ireland at $4750! A good UVMC on ebay sold for $3600!! A sweet GMC brought $3900! [and yes, these are all true sales where the money changed hands]. I'm just keeping in line with the market fluctuations and the amount of work that goes into the preparation of each guitar before it ships. [I just looked at this, damn is this way out of date! LOL]
I am constantly asked "Please send me an email when you get a JEM77XYZ in and I will buy it!". I do not do notices of incoming inventory. I get literally 100 requests like this a week and in an attempt to retain whatever sanity I have left I will not even attempt to keep track of your requests. You will have to check the Used page just like everybody else does, and bottom line, it's fair to all.
Haggling - it's only human nature to
want to negotiate and feel like you've gotten a better price. Until now I have
firmly resisted this, but, as times change, so must I. If you'd like to haggle
there will be a $250 Haggling Fee assessed, and a maximum allowable discount set
at a
"What's your best price on that?" - My standard response - "You're looking at it." Prices shown usually represent the cost of the time I put into working on a a guitar plus a small $50-$100 profit. Some of them actually reflect a decent profit margin! Some also reflect a LOSS. I get screwed buying online more than you do, I buy more! What *All* prices represent is *Bottom Line*, and are a *Fair* price for each guitar. If you don't like the pricing please shop elsewhere. The only discounts are if the guitar is bought AS IS and I don't have to work on it, although the deduction will vary per guitar and may not be as much as you might think or want.
I am constantly asked to put guitars on hold, HOLD means that cash is on the way in all but very rare circumstances. If you are waiting for a payment or bonus etc. guitars can be put on short term hold with a 10% deposit down. Short term is 2 weeks maximum. I do make exceptions on occasion for valid reasons, but in any deal for longer than 2 weeks and your 10% deposit becomes non-refundable! [Maximum penalty $100] I'm not an ogre, but this is a business! If there's a possibility that you cannot complete the terms of a deal then do not enter into it! I will in no way mark guitars on HOLD for people to "contemplate" whether they want it [or something else they're watching on ebay]. For every guitar on this page there are 2 people sitting on the fence, and a buyer that can come in 2 emails and "buy" it. This does not mean I don't want you to be very sure about a purchase and not take your time to decide, it does mean I won't "hold" it for you while you "think" about it. 2 or 3 players could be talking to me about the same guitar at the same time and bottom line is, first buyer to close the deal gets it. It's fair to everyone. ;o}
I just did a MAJOR cleanout of this page and put ALL sold guitars on the Used Sold page. I will probably keep this page trimmed to current offerings only from now on. It was obviously creating confusion as I would get emails from people requesting guitars that were marked GONE.
