Ok - here's a discussion about the PF400(?) reissue. There was supposedly a 1990 reissue. http://www.ibanezcollectors.com/discus/messages/12 /3664.html I couldn't find it in a catalog. mk |

I can't find anything in the 1993 through 1995 catalogs. Could it be mid- or late 1980's? A counterfeit (unlikely)? |

The Performer series lasted a number of years longer in Europe than in the US. The US run was basically the end of '77 and '78-although there have been a few early '79's also-and was limited to the PF100, PF200, PF230, PF300 & PF400. The European series and the variants (PF150, PF 350, etc) ran at least into the mid 80's. I remember selling a set neck PF with block markers-European model. You can usually tell the newer stuff by the PERFORMER on the tr cover, the early ones just had the model number. The guitar on this thread looks Korean to me-I don't know why by that serial number reminds me of Korean production.... |

Strange that they started with the script logo, dropped it for the block and now this one pops up with the script. six |

Hi, Ibanez have produced some reissues during the 90ies wich didn't appeare in any catalogue - like the Performer. Those pics are from a Korean Reissue of the Performer (propably from 94). Made by Samick (the "S" in the serial number). The Sure Grips seem to be replacement parts. There are some obvious diferences between the late 70ies Performers and the reissue models. Original late 70ies: old serial code, two angle trussrod cover, 70ies / 80ies style tuners, no Treble/Bass Plate under the toggle switch, three angle Super 70 pickups, Gibraltar bridge, the pickguard screw is under the pickguard and not at the side. 90ies Reissue Performer: new S-serial code, three angle trussrod cover, Koeran style tuners, two angle pickups, normal Les Paul style bridge and tailpiece, the pickguard screw is at the side of the pickguard with this little holder (also Les Paul style). Here is a current ebay example for an original 70ies PF 400 where you can see the differences: 190173716474. Greets Olli |
