Hi!

I'm a player, collectors condition not neccessary but would be nice.

It's a gift, ... for myself! ;-)

Are you just looking for a guitar from 1978?

Well, as ibanez and other japanese guitars like tokai are known for there high quality in that period (and still are), i'm looking for an instrument from these manufacturers.

ibanez serial# allows to date the year and month so it's tempting to get a matching guitar.

i prefer set neck guitars with short scale and humbuckers(gibson type), it's kind of a rough description, but i have an open mind.

Does it have to be B78 or could it be any letter?

There are a couple of 1978 Ibanez's up on eBay and several more on GBase, however, very few of them have the serial numbers listed.

A few e-mails should take care of that, though.

thank you for your replies.

unfortunately, the european market is a little smaller than the auctions that are running on ebay usa. shipping to germany will be around 350$!!
are any europeans around?

if anyone here has an guitar for sale as described, contact me! perfect match on the month is not needed, but would be very, very nice! :-)

I would like to have a nice Fender Stratocaster of my year of birth. (I'm pre-CBS too).
I had the opportunity to buy one that was one year too young but also pre-CBS for ƒ6500.- (L serial #) in 1998/'99 or so. And I thought that was expensive. Now I could have made a small fortune with that guitar. (It was light blue, I don't know if it was sonic blue or another fantasy name).

1978 is an EXCELLENT year for Ibanez guitars.
Make sure that it has a decent Gibraltar bridge and tailpiece (not corroded) and Super Grip (I, not II) potmeterknobs and NO mods.

Take a look at these:

and tell us your preference.

(On a Gibby he could even pick his DAY of birth, they go from 001 to 365/366). I could take a look at my The Pauls serial numbers. (Although I don't want to sell anything with an ebony fretboard.)

Petjakov, I was hoping to get around 1000 EURO. Some small dings but in overall excellent condition and with OHSC. No rush to sell, but I will need more space for yet some hollow bodies.
