Item : Ibanez XPT700
Seller : Duncan Manser
Status : For Sale
Asking Price : £350. Shipping within the UK only (not sure how much it would be). Pick up would also be ok (Surrey).



Description:

1 year old Ibanez XPT700 in Red Chameleon. Comes with all the usual jazz such as locking nuts and adjustment keys, whammy bar and a fitted hard case.

# Neck type: 5 piece Wizard II Maple/Walnut Thru neck
# Body: Mahogany body
# Frets: Jumbo frets
# Bridge: Edge III
# Neck pickup: DiMarzio D Activator humbucking neck pickup
# Bridge pickup: DiMarzio D Activator humbucking bridge pickup

Condition:

Perfect. Hardly ever played and as far as I'm aware, not a scratch on it.


PS: This guitar is currently at my fathers house, whilst I am at university. If there is any interest in this item I will most probably be at my Dads weekend of the 4th and 5th of October and can take pictures then. Shipping costs can be discussed with me as I currently have no idea how much it would cost. Depending on the cost I may be willing to include it in the asking price.

Many thanks.

so theres no way to get it to the US?

Posted by: Smikey2006 Sep 26 2008, 03:41 AM

im getting the 707 on saturday and yet im still tempted why are you selling it?

Posted by: Duncan Sep 26 2008, 10:49 AM

It's being sold because I never play it as it is at my Dad's house. I am also looking to buy a new computer and could really use the money.

@g-forcelover - I suppose I could get it to the US if it came to it.

May I add that I love this guitar and how it plays. But I also own a Ibanez PGM301 and a RG1527, both of which mean a lot to me (birthday presents and such) making it easier for me to part with this guitar.

Posted by: Duncan Sep 28 2008, 12:17 PM

Come on guys, someone must be interested. Make me an offer.

Posted by: Bondy Sep 28 2008, 12:19 PM

You still need to add real pics of the guitar!!!

Posted by: Duncan Sep 28 2008, 01:31 PM

I know and I apologise, but the guitar is at my Dads house and I wont be there until next weekend. People can still declare their interest though?

Posted by: Duncan Oct 2 2008, 04:31 PM

Got my stepmum to take some pictures so here we are. If anyone wants more pictures, then request them in this thread and I can take them when I'm at my Dads on Saturday/Sunday.

Looks bloody fantastic. £350 is great value for this guitar I think. I might consider it but I really shouldn't buy another guitar.

Posted by: Smells Oct 2 2008, 04:37 PM

yea totally agree, looks awesome, 15 years ago this would have been right up my alley!, not gunna suit a balding 38 yr old now

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Oct 2 2008, 04:39 PM

You should shave it all off and get a long beard. Then it would suit you again . It's what I'm thinking about doing. I look a bit silly with long thinning hair.

Posted by: Duncan Oct 2 2008, 04:47 PM

That's never stopped me before.

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Oct 2 2008, 04:49 PM

Probably the reason I have 6 guitars I'd love to sell my Caparison and get £1000 for that and buy this for £350 and have the £650 to learn to drive.

Posted by: Duncan Oct 5 2008, 08:38 PM

This guitar is now at my uni house so any picture requests I can take care of immediately.

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Oct 5 2008, 08:43 PM

Any chance of recording something with it to show what the sound is like with the guitar?

Just trying to figure out of it will add to my collection or whether it is too similar to my other guitars with DiMarzio pickups

Posted by: Duncan Oct 5 2008, 08:51 PM

Erm I don't really have any recording equipment. Which other guitars do you have?

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Oct 5 2008, 08:54 PM

They are in my signature.

Caparison TAT2
Parker Nitefly SA
Parker Nitefly M
Gibson SG
Parker P10E
Rubbish Spanish acoustic.

I'm worried it wont have a place for me to ever use it. It looks such a great guitar and a shame to let it go to somebody else.

Posted by: Duncan Oct 5 2008, 08:56 PM

Well it sounds lovely to me (but of course I'm going to say that). I can only suggest maybe looking at videos on youtube? One thing I noticed with the Xiphos is how full the notes sound higher up the fret. It really does make solos sound beautiful.

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Oct 5 2008, 08:58 PM

Shame it isn't the 7 string version as I would have had it in a second. I will go to the local guitar places and see if I can try one out.

Posted by: Duncan Oct 5 2008, 09:03 PM

Yeah that's probably the best idea.

Posted by: Duncan Oct 13 2008, 07:03 PM

Final bump before I give up.

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Oct 13 2008, 07:11 PM

Unfortunately i cant buy it after buying another caparison. Whack it on ebay i guess.

Posted by: Duncan Oct 13 2008, 07:13 PM

Yeah that's what I'm gonna do.

How much is 350lbs in US dollars? I might be interested in picking it up.

Posted by: Smells Feb 5 2009, 11:08 AM

around $500

Posted by: Duncan Jul 29 2009, 04:27 PM

I completely forgot about selling this guitar. Last chance on this forum before I start to try elsewhere.

Posted by: Jakub Luptovec Aug 17 2009, 09:58 AM

I might be interested in it, but I am currently selling my own guitar (or I will get the money from my savings in one month..) to raise funds for new one. Please keep me updated if you sell it .

Posted by: Duncan Aug 23 2009, 11:04 PM

I will still be selling it. But unfortunately I go to Canada for 9 months in September so will unable to do any dealings during this time. Sorry dude.

Posted by: Duncan Jul 3 2010, 10:40 PM

Canada is expensive and I need money, so I will make the effort to sell this. This guitar is still in the UK though and still in perfect condition.
