Pre-Owned Ibanez RT650GF TR (1993) - Transparent Red with Hardshell Case

The Pre-Owned Ibanez RT650GF: Vintage Japanese Craftsmanship Meets Hot-Rodded Versatility

Classic 90s Ibanez Quality with a Modern Edge

This 1993 Ibanez RT650GF TR is a standout example of the golden era of Japanese guitar manufacturing. Built during a short-lived but beloved early 90s production run, the RT series brought together classic Strat-inspired aesthetics with the unmistakable precision and reliability Ibanez is known for. Its alder body topped with a subtle maple cap delivers clarity and resonance, while the Transparent Red gloss finish enhances its visual impact. This guitar is a rock-solid player’s instrument—and thanks to smart pickup upgrades, it's also a tonal powerhouse.

Upgraded Pickups for Ultimate Tonal Versatility

This RT650GF has been tastefully modded to expand its sonic capabilities. A Seymour Duncan SH-1N '59 humbucker sits in the neck position, delivering smooth, vintage warmth ideal for bluesy lines and jazz textures. The middle pickup remains the original Ibanez S1 single coil, offering crisp, articulate tones with a touch of vintage sparkle. In the bridge, a Seymour Duncan TB-6 Trembucker in zebra finish brings high-output punch and tight low-end grind—perfect for aggressive rhythms and soaring leads. The result is a wide tonal palette ready for clean, crunch, or gain-heavy tones at a moment’s notice.

Smooth Playability with Japanese Precision

The Viper-profile maple neck and 24-fret rosewood fingerboard provide a slick, fast playing surface that still retains enough depth for comfort and control. The contoured body shape makes this guitar feel natural whether standing or seated, and the tremolo system offers expressive modulation with solid return-to-pitch reliability. With Gotoh-style tuners holding it down, this is a guitar you can take from the practice room to the stage without a second thought.

Honest Wear, Player’s Mojo

This instrument has earned its stripes. A large finish crack is visible behind the bridge, along with a chip on the treble horn and assorted dings and chips across the back. In addition there is some small finish cracks along the neck heel and some dents in the top. All wear is cosmetic and has been photographed for transparency. It's a player's instrument through and through, built for tone and reliability over pristine looks.

A Vintage Sleeper With Boutique Firepower

With its premium Japanese build, modern pickup configuration, and honest aesthetic, this RT650GF is much more than a throwback. It's a true sleeper gem, equally suited for blues, classic rock, progressive fusion, or heavy riffing. It includes a hardshell case and tremolo bar, making it road-ready and protected.
