1978 Ibanez MC300

Summary: The Ibanez MC300 Musician series was one of several designs launched by Ibanez following the lawsuit era of the early '70s. There were a few different MC Musician models, but the models with neck-thru bodies and carved tops are the most valuable. This beauty has the neck-thru construction and it is absolutely beautiful. We put a new set of strings on this instrument and it plays and sounds great.

Body: Slightly offset double cutaway ash/mahogany sandwich body.

Neck: Five-piece laminated rock maple/black walnut NTB, 24-fret ebonized rosewood fingerboard with abalone dot inlays, mahogany headstock overlay, three-per-side Ibanez Velve-Tune II tuners.

Pickups/Hardware: Gibraltar bridge mounted on a sustain block, Gibraltar slotted tailpiece with triangular emblem plate, two Super 88 Tri-Sound humbucker pickups, four knobs (two v, two tone), three-way pickup switch, two Tri-Sound mini switches, gold hardware.

Cosmetics: This vintage Ibanez is absolutely beautiful – there are some signs of wear such as pick scratches & a few dings here and there. One of the tuning keys is missing the gold backing but it is still totally functional. There is some notable buckle rash on the back of the instrument & a minor nick or two on the back of the neck but it is not. There are also a few dings on the headstock, the most significant is a chip on the lacquer on the bottom edge (pictured). The input jack looks like it was pushed in too hard and it has some cracking around the edges but it is still very stable.

Playability: We put a new set of 10’s on this beautiful guitar & it plays like a dream. The action is low – the neck feels incredibly strong & solid, the truss rod is fully functional. The first 5 frets do show some wear but it still played and sounded great. The fingerboard is beautiful, although there are some divots on the first few blocks but it does not affect playability.

Weight: 9 lbs, 5 oz.

Case: This awesome vintage Ibanez doesn’t include a case but we will package it safely & ship it fully insured!
