1983 Ibanez AR30 Restoration | Part Four

Part One | Part Two | Part Three | Part Four

In Part One of this series, we took a look at the early stages of restoration work done on this 1983 Ibanez AR30. Then, in Part Two, the refinishing process was completed; and the AR30 left aside for a month. Next, in Part Three, we saw electronics, shielding and related issues being taken care of.

We are now at the fourth and final part of this series. It's been nearly a year since I started this restoration, and I'm eager to send it back to the owner for final testing. As it turned out, I met him just a few hours ago at his rehearsal studio, handed him his AR30; and was treated to a 15 minutes of blazing guitar work.

After putting the guitar back on its stand, he looked at me and gave me the thumbs-up. I heaved a huge sigh of relief, I tell you. Well folks, that concludes the saga of how this 1983 Ibanez AR30 was restored. Who knows, one of these days another AR30 might just come my way.
