Ibanez Destroyer II DT-165, Rare Variant of the DT-555 (1984), with Original Fitted Gig Bag. 

A legendary instrument from Ibanez's golden era. This 1984 Destroyer II DT-165 is a rare Japanese variant of the DT-555, produced exclusively for Ikebe, Tokyo's most respected guitar retailer. Only 16 examples were ever made, making this one of the most sought-after Ibanez models among collectors worldwide.

Featuring the iconic angular body design that defined the Destroyer series, this guitar combines striking aesthetics with the legendary playability Ibanez is known for. The 1984 vintage represents the peak of Ibanez's Japanese manufacturing, with meticulous craftsmanship evident throughout.

This is a serious collector's piece — the rarity, provenance, and condition make it an investment-grade instrument. Comes with the original fitted leather gig bag, preserving decades of history
