🔥 Richie Kotzen’s 1-of-1 STARFIELD “AMERICA” – Ibanez L.A. Custom Shop 1992

🎸 The Actual Guitar Featured in the 1992 Starfield Magazine Ad – Signed Ad Included

This is Richie Kotzen’s personal 1-of-1 Starfield, hand-built in 1992 at the Ibanez L.A. Custom Shop during the final phase of his pre-Fender era. This guitar is a true one-off, unlike any production Starfield ever released.

Crafted side-by-side with master luthier Mike Lipe, this guitar reflects Richie’s vision from top to bottom. It was part of the creative phase as Ibanez explored where to take Richie’s gear before he eventually moved to Fender. What came out of that collaboration is one of the most visually and sonically stunning guitars ever built under the Starfield name.

It was  featured in a full-page 1992 Starfield magazine ad, which is included and signed by Richie. The ad highlights a standard blue Cabriolet model — but in the black-and-white photo, Richie is shown playing THIS exact guitar.

🎨 Heavenly custom blue finish with a cloud-like depth
🌀 Distinct ridged body contour – totally unique to this guitar
🛠️ Built by the Ibanez L.A. Custom Shop – not a production model
📸 Includes original 1992 magazine ad – signed by Richie
📅 Played and preserved since 1992 – never offered before
🎀 Comes with original  case, tremolo bar, and white strap

While a few Kotzen- model Starfield Cabriolets made it to market, nothing like this was ever sold. This is a true one-of-one — built for Richie, played by Richie, and featured in one of the rarest ads of the era.

⚡ Own a piece of guitar history, a RARE visual legacy, and a stunning L.A. Custom Shop build all in one.
