Just found this V300 on eBay. 9 1/2 hours to go and still at a low price ($46.-). Ebay Item #200113854540 I have my doubts about the 1970's story. The ones I saw until now were from the beginning of the 1980's and I can't read the serial number. Right now it has 3 white and 3 black plastic string pins, which can easily be replaced by a whole new set of the right colour. Comes with a not 100% case. A few hundred bucks seems reasonable, and it IS Vintage. I've heard an old one in the mall last Christmas. They're nice. Gemberbier |

While there are some V300 models shown in the '78 and '79 Ibanez TAMA catalogs, this one looks much closer to the model shown in the '81 Acoustic catalog. The serial number would set the matter straight. I wonder about a few details: I've never seen white plastic tuner buttons on any of these models. And maybe it's my eyes, but there appears to be a lot of light wood showing around the sides and back of the bridge. Repaired, pulled away from the top, maybe? |

Yeah, I guess your right, John. I was too busy trying to read that serial number. It looks like it has been repaired. The top looks partly sanded in order to reglue the bridge. And these tuners don't look original indeed. Well, if repaired properly, the buyer has a bargain for $112.- Ginger |

Yeah... those pins give it that 'gap-toothed' Carolina grin, 'don't it'. Looks like the bridge was replaced, with a smaller one. The buyer was 'londonauctionhouse'... I doubt that they'll play it much, before they flip it. |

This one's got no teeth at all! Better tuners WITH bushings, but not original either. Damaged rosewood finish on the headstock. And quite a different price. Ebay Item #290125895466 Ginger |
