Up for sale, a 1993 Ibanez SI850M in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This rare top-tier Ibanez was a non-catalog "spot model," produced in limited quantities at the Fujigen factory and predating the J. Custom line. The most notable and unique feature of the SI850M is its body depth: the SI850M is based on the slender S Series shape, but is slightly thicker than the rest of the S Series, enabling the output jack to be mounted on the side of the body.
Tonewoods include a Natural-finished ash body, maple neck, and 22-fret maple fingerboard, and this SI850M is lightweight at 7lbs 3oz. A triple pickup HSH affair with a V7/S1/V8 pickup complement, the humbucker sounds are pure high gain power, designed to keep things cutting, focused, and clear with excellent feedback rejection. On the five-way switch, settings 2-4 offer various shadings of single coil snap and sparkle, coil-tapping the humbuckers and combining them with the centrally located single coil. This SI850M has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, slinky action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Natural finish highlights the broad grain in the ash body, with minimal buckle worming central to the back and just a few small dings, largely relegated to the back and perimeter. The satin finish on the neck profile is smooth and clean.
A gigbag is included.
