Ibanez S1675 in as-is condition with a removable Roland synth pickup.
Ibanez S540 which is undoubtedly a Prestige level instrument in its heyday but currently with chrome GOTOH tuners, chrome locking nut assembly, replacement GOTOH Floyd Rose type locking bridge (yes, in chrome finish as well) & covered Seymour Duncan humbuckers. Which one would you choose?
The S540 is a wonderful guitar but giving it a personal makeover might extinguish genuine interest in the instrument. In this particular case, putting an option to offer in addition to an asking price (which doubles as a price floor) might do the guitar some good. Why? The S-Series is not an active interest amongst the Ibanez enthusiasts, the RG is preferred. Currently, the RG is backed by a revival; the Genesis models are popular choices & of outstanding value-for-money. If you own any older Japanese RGs, you can definitely ride on this demand trend. Remember, I'm not the price police, you have no obligations to agree, just some food for thought.
