(I don't have access to my catalog links at the moment.) Serial says it was made in 1982. It looks primo from the pics I've seen. What's the value? -Chuck   Chucke99 Username: Chucke99 Registered: 2-2007 Posted on Friday, August 24, 2007 - 4:42 pm:    Got the catalog. It's a 1982 AR105AV. So, then, current value? -Chuck   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 2-2001 Posted on Friday, August 24, 2007 - 4:55 pm:    Chucke99: It's an AR105AV, burl mahogany top, mahogany body. Very cool guitars. They used to go around the $600.00 mark. But I wouldn't doubt that they've appreciated over the last 3-6 months (like all the other good Ibanez).   Chucke99 Username: Chucke99 Registered: 2-2007 Posted on Friday, August 24, 2007 - 5:03 pm:    Thanks John. I found a post from a few months ago where one sold for $665 with a modified coil tap, so maybe this one is worth north of that. The guy wants $600 and I'm trying to get him on the phone now. This would be a keeper, not a flip, I think, because it looks so dang purty. -Chuck   Guitartim Username: Guitartim Registered: 4-2001 Posted on Saturday, August 25, 2007 - 1:39 pm:    Chuck~ AR105's are indeed very cool guitars. Since they are all mahogany (solid body and carved burl mahogany top), they can be a bit heavy, but man, the tone is other-worldly. The asking price is more than fair if it is in good condition. I've seen them sell for about 30% higher than the one you are checking out.   Strings Username: Strings Registered: 1-2005 Posted on Sunday, August 26, 2007 - 10:43 am:    I've got one of these babies...awesome PAF tone! If it is 8.0 or better condition and you want it for play...write the check now '99.
