Painted by acclaimed guitar painter, David Bonvillain, who does all the work for Steve Vai and Joe Satriani for Ibanez. We met David at NAMM 2026 and he asked if he could paint a G4. We couldn't be happier with the results and excited to offer it for sale.
The top is solid carved Red Maple, the solid carved back and sides are Honduran Mahogany painted black, and the neck is a three ply laminate of Curly Hard Maple with a Mahogany center strip. It is finished with with nitrocellulose lacquer for a high gloss finish.
Body and headstock are bound in black celluloid, while the neck is bound with ebony wood. The tuners are Gotoh 510 in chrome and there is access for the truss rod under an ebony truss rod cover affixed with two screws. The fingerboard is ebony with gold, white, and abalone pearl inlay. There are corresponding side dots in abalone.
The body is fully hollow with a pair of parallel carved tone bars on either side of the pickups. The pickups are a pair of Seymour Duncan ‘59 Hum-buckers. They are mounted to the body with a pair of hand made pickup rings in ebony. The bridge is a floating adjustable type made of ebony with compensated brass saddles. The tailpiece is hand carved ebony, affixed to the body with a stainless steel plate. The electronics include a master volume and tone, a pickup selector switch, a coil selector switch and a series/parallel switch. The coil selector switch has three positions, with the hum-buckers active in the center position. In the down position, the outer coils are active and in the up position the inner coils are active.
The scale length is 25 ½,” and the nut width is 1-11/16.” The neck is a subtle thin “V” profile. Plugged in or not, this instrument already has a full bodied and well balanced sound.
