This 2020 Indonesian-made Ibanez six-stringer came in for general servicing and fret dressing barely six months after purchase. It's a record of sorts for me as I've never seen frets so badly worn in such a short period of time. I guess the owner spent most of the many C19 lockdowns deep in practice on this new axe of his.
For the benefit of readers, I've broken down this report into three segments: Part One, Part Two and Part Three. In this first segment, let's take a look at the JEM-JR's noteworthy features; most of which were sourced from the Ibanez USA website.
