Ibanez Artist Prototype

It will be a prototype of an Artist who has a core fan as a masterpiece of Ibanez.

It is a guitar that seems to be based on AR300 (with AR200 fingerboard), which is believed to have been manufactured around 1980.
The characteristic is that the joint position of the neck is closer to the head side than the AR300, and I think it was probably made as a prototype of the 24-fret AR.
It looks pretty rough at the moment, but it has a cleanness like Gretsch's MALCOLM YOUNG signature, G6131-MY.

There is only one model in the non-serial world, so please consider this opportunity.

Body: Flame Maple Top/Mahogany Back
Neck: Maple3P, Set-neck Joint
Fingerboard: Macassar Ebony, 22 Frets
Scale Length: 628mm
Pickup: Humbucker
Controls: 1 Volume
Nut: Bone
Tuner: Gotoh SG301
Bridge: TOM &

Too bad the 2 other stamps are not readable, the top one seems to say "trial production". Curious what kind of money something like that would fetch among Ibby collectors.
