Seller's description

A 1984 Destroyer II has arrived. This is the Ibanez Destroyer II, famous for having been played primarily in the 1980s by Phil Collen, an original member of Def Leppard, the legendary British hard rock band that is still active today. Many of you probably remember seeing Phil Collen playing this model in the music video for their hit song “Photograph” from that era. Featuring a basswood back and birch top body based on the EX shape, a 22-fret maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard, and pearl/abalone split-block inlays that lend it a luxurious feel. The three original V2 pickups mounted on a cream-colored escutcheon—all with cream bobbins—make a striking impression, giving this model its distinctive look. It retains many of the early specifications (1983–1984), including a Hard Rocker Pro tremolo bridge, brass Sure Grip Kob control knobs, a graphite nut, and boomerang-shaped strap pins. Due to its short production run, very few used examples are available on the market. If you’ve been looking for one, please be sure to consider this opportunity! There is significant paint peeling at the tip of the horn on the G-string side, and paint peeling is also visible around the neck joint. Overall, there are numerous scratches and dents scattered across the body, and the hardware has a dull finish. While it shows some signs of use, it has been fully serviced and cleaned at our repair center, and playability is excellent. Condition Grade: B+: Some scratches, but no issues for normal use Serial Number: F840795 Year of Manufacture: 1984 Country of Manufacture: Japan Case: Non-original soft case Accessories: Arm Weight: 4.36 kg Truss Rod: No issues; checked up to 60 degrees to the left and right with no problems Remaining Fret Life: Within normal range; fret height is sufficient for playing String Height (Low String Side): 2.0 mm at the 12th fret String height (treble side): 1.5 mm at the 12th fret Nut width: 43.0 mm Neck thickness near the 1st fret: 20.4 mm
