Looks like a Ibanez Musician to me. But I thought they had a more Alembic looking bridge than is currently on this guitar.

Ed Wynne in Ozric Tentacles plays that model and has for years. None of the hardware on that instrument suggests that it's an Alembic. lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 4340 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Saturday, March 13, 2010 - 2:28 pm:    Not a musician, but the headstock shape does scream Ibanez. Either that or some other brand out of the Matsumoku factory.

The woodworking seems close, but the hardware is all wrong. I'm thinking Vantage or Aria. Definitely Japanese. It could be any number of random brands, but I think Bill is probably right about the factory of origin. Ibanez Musicians from the 70s and 80s are cool guitars and an upgrade from what this seems to be. dluxe Member Username: dluxe Post Number: 81 Registered: 11-2009 Posted on Saturday, March 13, 2010 - 4:11 pm:    I really like the late 70's Musician Basses too. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 9173 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Sunday, March 14, 2010 - 1:02 pm:    Now relisted.
