Ibanez RG6 LACSD worth looking?

[majewsky]

Hello, I've found nice Ibanez RG6 LA Custom Shop Designed on Polish auction service. I've been GASing for single pickup Floyd guitar for long time.

It's standard, basswood body, bubinga/maple neck. DD bridge.
I've read somewhere that it was Japan exclusive and it was MIJ. Is it legit offer?

The price would be somwhere around $1200. Is it good deal for that price?

PS I can translate the descripton when I come home

Yes it's a 2000 MIJ guitar. In general LACS guitars are not that common, particularly ones made in USA – those are rare beasts and command a pretty price.

You'll probably have people saying it's too much for a relatively basic, no frills guitar but the price for continental Europe is fairly normal. Maybe try talking the guy down to $1000 if you can.

On the whole, it seems like a decent spec. On the last picture, though, it looks like there might be a neck crack around locking nut bolt, I'd ask about that. Fingerboard is dry too but that's easily fixed.

Thanks for output. Yeah, I've also nopticed that crack on the last photo.

I've mailed the seller and he send me two photos. For me it looks like a lacquer scratch.

That guitar is almost exactly what I wanted to build next summer after I pass all my final exams, so why waste money on unsure project, while I can just bought that ibby.

The only problem is that I don't have enough cash and I'll have to ask my parents if they don't have some saved money
