Another craigslist find of mine.
Ibanez SA series. I think it's an sa160 but I'm not really sure. It was sanded down poorly, dirty, strings buzzing, missing the cavity covers, and had the bridge pu held in with duct tape. So I bought it lol
I restrung, set it up, polished the frets/most of the hardware, and cleaned it up. And then dropped my jaw at how great it sounded.
I originally intended to repaint immediately after making certain I could set it up to play properly. Instead I found that it plays so great that I kind of like how ugly it is.. Paint is likely in it's future but I'm going to wait a bit and enjoy the beautiful sounds from an extra ugly instrument.
