Really, REALLY looking. Like since 1979 when I didn't buy the one I had in my hands for ten minutes... Ibanez or Antoria, Korina or Korina finish, any condition. Can anyone help? Thanks |

Hi Hackney, You must be in the UK with a handle like that. Re the Explorer (or Destroyer as Ibanez called it) They do come up on ebay every now and then. You just need to keep you eyes peeled. Save a ebay search in your favourites and look everyday for stuff that you are interested in. That's what I do and it kind of works. You will probably see one in the States so you might have to beg the seller to ship. Keep em peeled six |

Hi 6 Yeah, the very next day, one pops up on e-bay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7389021124&rd=1&sspagename=ST RK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 May I draw your attention to the price? Would you agree that is a tad, how shall I put it, steep? I used to live in Hackney, and, yes, I used to be slim, too. Now I live in Greece and the Guiness has caught up with me. That would make me Athens Fats, I suppose? |

Actually this guitar looks pretty good except for the four holes drilled in the back and the non-stock harmonica bridge. Ask the seller more questions: any fractures at the neck joint or headstock area, are the pickups Super 70's, truss rod works? I have two of these power house guitars and would gladly give this seller the buy-it-now price but personally i am looking for a beat up Destroyer at this point. |

Ended early with a buy-it-now at 1400 euro. Am I being a bit slow here, or is this the going price? I was thinking substantially less...80's Gibsons are under a grand, etc So how valuable does that make my 1974 Antoria Les Paul Custom? |
