Vincent Barras

The 1982 Ibanez Destroyer II modified DT-50 is a Japanese-made solid body electric guitar known for its bold Explorer-style shape and classic early 80s Ibanez craftsmanship. Featuring a fast playing neck, dual humbuckers and a powerful, articulate tone, it suits rock and hard rock styles exceptionally well. This model is a standout example of vintage MIJ Ibanez quality with strong collectability and stage presence.

This shredder is highly sought after and collectable due to its high-quality Japanese craftsmanship, distinctive Explorer-style design and association with early 1980s Ibanez golden era production.
