Author Message   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Saturday, September 10, 2005 - 6:11 pm:    A while I remember someone from Maryland who was selling a bunch of vintage Ibanez guitars. I wonder if this is the same person using a different eBay name. He's certainly not a newbie to Ibanez guitars. There are some real goodies here, albeit, most of which are priced very high and have been relisted at a slightly lower price than the original listed price. I know we've already covered this, however, it's still an impressive display. http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZ6artwoodtwinsQQhtZ-1   Artfield Username: Artfield Registered: 04-2001 Posted on Saturday, September 10, 2005 - 7:18 pm:    In Europe its raining Ibanez too... http://www.leaschuetz.de/gitarre/   Dave_g Username: Dave_g Registered: 01-2002 Posted on Saturday, September 10, 2005 - 9:12 pm:    There was a guy named frank from MD who had a tremendous collection of Ibanez...I sold him a AR500, and he sold me a AR5000..He dumped a bunch of rare birds a year or so ago....might be the same guy. I'm not buying that these are just random guitars showing up at some shop like the auction are written..This is someones collection. The prices are kinda absurd at this point and no one is nibbling yet. As much as I have been known to bid on anything tasty , I cannot bring myself to pay these prices.....   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Saturday, September 10, 2005 - 9:24 pm:    Yes, I agree that this is someone's collection. I have been watching the auctions. Someone placed a bid on the 2622 at over $2K and then retracted it. Regarding the PUE5 Tube, it didn't sell and then it was relisted with a BIN and it immediately sold at $299. Obviously, an arrangement had been made. Currently, there is a bid on one of the guitars.   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Saturday, September 10, 2005 - 9:27 pm:    Check out that Euro link. If I understand correctly, there's an MC550 listed at 400 Euro which is $500 USD. A bargain!   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Saturday, September 10, 2005 - 9:32 pm:    There's also a nice very looking white AR-1200 for 800 Euro ($1000 USD).   Ibanezfreak1960 Username: Ibanezfreak1960 Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Sunday, September 11, 2005 - 12:43 am:    if you look close at the white ar1200 it has 2 six string necks. one looks fretless!   Ibanezfreak1960 Username: Ibanezfreak1960 Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Sunday, September 11, 2005 - 12:48 am:      Snowjays Username: Snowjays Registered: 09-2004 Posted on Sunday, September 11, 2005 - 6:07 am:    Notice the two headstock are different. Has someone replaced the 12 string headstock or cut it back and converted it to 6 string?   Ibanezfreak1960 Username: Ibanezfreak1960 Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Sunday, September 11, 2005 - 9:06 am:    Yeah I noticed that. What a shame because a fretless guitar sounds like crap! I tried one and you cant do chords on it!   Artfield Username: Artfield Registered: 04-2001 Posted on Sunday, September 11, 2005 - 12:52 pm:    Ibanezfreak1960 check this link and maybe your opinion will change... http://www.unfretted.com/loader.php?LINK=/artists/ambient   Ibanezfreak1960 Username: Ibanezfreak1960 Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Tuesday, September 13, 2005 - 7:46 am:    Bump on the link that Artfield posted. There are soem nice guitars here. A mint RS1400 plus others http://www.leaschuetz.de/gitarre/   Bobzilla Username: Bobzilla Registered: 02-2005 Posted on Tuesday, September 13, 2005 - 9:18 am:    Artfield... are the guitars in that Euro link for sale? Also... I am looking for an ar5000 if anyone is willing to part with one, please let me know.   Ibanezfreak1960 Username: Ibanezfreak1960 Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Tuesday, September 13, 2005 - 9:20 am:    Bob it looks as if they are because next to the gallery link it says price list.   Bobzilla Username: Bobzilla Registered: 02-2005 Posted on Tuesday, September 13, 2005 - 9:20 am:    Isn't Olivia's in Maryland? Looks like their stock. If so.... maybe they are hiding from their reputation of way overpriced stuff?   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Tuesday, September 13, 2005 - 11:11 am:    No, Olivia's is in the MidWest   Ibanezfreak1960 Username: Ibanezfreak1960 Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Tuesday, September 13, 2005 - 3:34 pm:    Artfield I thought that the guy that plays the semi-fretless was awsome.   Bigmike Username: Bigmike Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Wednesday, September 14, 2005 - 12:29 pm:    Yeah speaking of fretless players - back in 1998 I saw Pat Metheny at Villa Montalvo and during his show he did this one number with a (Linda Manzer) fretless guitar - I believe a nylon string with some kind of snyth pickup in it. Oh man, it was amazing !!!!! He destroyed the audience - seeing the instrument and then hearing what sounds hhe made come out of it and what did with it... amazing.   Bobzilla Username: Bobzilla Registered: 02-2005 Posted on Wednesday, September 14, 2005 - 12:49 pm:    If Pat Metheny played a Sears guitar it would sound good so...   Bigmike Username: Bigmike Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 1:10 am:    Bobzilla, Funny you say that - I remember a story I read on the PMG Garage forum about Pat sitting in at a gig when the Group had toured Russia. Anyway he goes to some club after his gig: he's recognized in the crowd and the band asks him if he wants to sit in on a couple of tunes. He obliges, gets up on the bandstand and is using some strange Russian guitar and the crowd's stunned - on this junker guitar he sounds just like he's playing his old 50's ES175... I'm convinced half the time that instruments themselves are only a small contribution to the sound an artist gets - the majority of it is in their hands and technique...   Jeffm725 Username: Jeffm725 Registered: 06-2005 Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 8:15 am:    It IS the hands and technique ALWAYS. Guitars, Amps and Effects are colors on your pallette but your hands, especially the right hand, is where your 'sound' comes from
