Ibanez GIO HSH | Fret Dressing

Here is a blue flame maple veneer top Ibanez GIO HSH solidbody [Serial Number 5Y210502999] that was sent in for servicing and setup. Work done included fretboard conditioning, hardware servicing, fret dressing, neck angle adjustment [neck shim] and setup with D'Addario EXL120 strings. Owner Mohd Rozaini was gracious enough to record a demo, which I have uploaded to YouTube.
