Up for sale, a 1984 Ibanez Destroyer II Model DT555 in perfect working order. Produced from 1983-85, this Ibanez Destroyer II is widely associated with (and was initially popularized by) Def Leppard’s Phil Collen, who played one extensively throughout the band’s heyday and was featured heavily in promotional materials by Ibanez. Produced at the Fujigen Gakki factory, the Destroyer II is the embodiment of classic, envelope-pushing visual and sonic design of the 1980s, loaded with a trio of high-output Ibanez V2 humbuckers and a Pro Rock’r tremolo system.
Tonewoods include a basswood body with a birch top, a three-piece maple set neck, and a bound rosewood fretboard, and the tonewood complement yields a bright, balanced acoustic platform with plenty of natural sustain. Plugged in, the three Ibanez V2 humbuckers can harness massive gain structures, boasting rich harmonic content, great punch and an overall full and bold tonal character. The controls are simple and intuitive, with a three-way pickup toggle and Master Volume, middle pickup Volume, and Master Tone knobs. This Destroyer II DT555 weighs 9lbs 13oz and has been professionally set up here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, slinky action, and accurate intonation.
