Between 2005 and 2008 Ibanez produced a limited run of guitars in partnership with artist and sculptor Hans Rudolph "H.R." Giger who is famous for his work on the set design of the Alien movies. This SHRG1Z model (one of the five different designs Giger made with Ibanez) has a zinc-coated mahogany body with a portion of his painting Biomechanical Matrix etched into it. The guitar is an S series, double cut, solid-body electric produced in a limited run of 185 pieces.This guitar has some of the most detailed and intricate design work we've seen on a guitar. The zinc coating with its cold and metallic touch make this instrument feel like part of an alien spaceship. This guitar is a sci-fi collectors dream and to top it off it shreds like an Ibanez should. The guitar is in excellent condition with its original hardshell case and certificate of authenticity.
