It is an AS100, one that's sold for the highest price I've ever seen. Ace |

I read favorable reviews of this guitar while searching through ICW. What do you think it's worth in (I assume) very good condition? |

The answer is: it's worth $865, that's what it sold for. Ay? |

I'm also interested in hearing more about the AS-100... |

I have a 1980 AS100 that I really like and a 1986 AS200. I wish I had a 1981 AS200 to compare... I also like the AS200 very much but the feel/neck of the AS100 has something more to it... I can imagine how an early AS200 plays like... at the end the difference between AS100 and 200 are (as far as I know): chrome hardware x gold hardware, rosewood fingerboard x ebony fingerboard, maple top x flamed maple top, some bindings and the inlays on the fingerboard... I guess the bridge is also different. |

I had an 82 AS100 and AS200. The AS200 is a little bit heavier and has Tri-sound. Otherwise, they are nearly identical. All hardwares are the same, including the bridge, except of course one is chrome and one is gold tone. Ace

Sold it couple of years ago along with the AS100, a 2630, and a Yamaha AS2000. Ace |

What one did you prefer playing at the time Ace the 100 or the 200? FG, Maybe the 100 has a 'more to it feel' because of the dot neck board.... ideas? six |

Sixvsix, Now that you've asked and made me think, I recall feeling more "as one" with the AS100. May be because it was lighter, or may be the rosewood finger board had a "softer" touch? The AS200's ebony board gave better "attack" compare to the AS100 though. Ace |

Six, the 100 just feels more like a REAL instrument (remember that I'm comparing an 1980 AS100 w a 1986 AS200)... the neck profiles are different.. I might be wrong but I have an impression that the AS200 has a shorter/thinner neck... is that possible? The '86 AS200 has a smaller body... Well, I prefer... feels more confortable... the AS100's neck. |

Sixvsix, After all is said and done, I kept my 81 AS50 as my only AS. It is to this day my favorite guitar, ahead of my AM205/255, FA and FG, Strat, LP and AR's. It just has the perfect heft, the feel, the tone, everything. Ace |
