I do not have an AR 300 and thought I'd change that. So here it is. I'm pretty psyched. I love the color (as I already have the violin color 2619) I'll post more picture when I get it.

She's prettier than the pictures. Doesn't look as though it's ever been played. No wear to speak of. One of the nicest pieces I've got. She's off to a set up this afternoon, but when I get her back I'll post pictures. I'm not surprised, but I have to say she's weighin' in close to 10 lbs I'd guess. Glad my days of standing on stage are pretty much over. My 2619 would be my choice as gigworthy for weight alone. The gold bridge, tailpiece, pickups and tuners are remarkably well preserved. I know the AR 300's are not rare by any means, but a pretty piece is a pretty piece.... Color me happy   Agr Username: Agr Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Wednesday, April 25, 2007 - 11:38 pm:    "I know the AR 300's are not rare by any means" Pretty rare in that condition for sure. Nice win.   Emilio Username: Emilio Registered: 9-2004 Posted on Friday, April 27, 2007 - 5:13 pm:    ar300 CS are not easy to find!!!!(AV is the "normal"colour) good score congrats cheers emilio   Emckenrick Username: Emckenrick Registered: 10-2001 Posted on Monday, April 30, 2007 - 9:45 am:    I think you may be right Emilio. This AR300 is almost identical to the one pictured in this ad Here are a couple of photos I took over the weekend I weighed her and she's 10 pounds....but interestingly enough my 2619's 9 pounds...and it feels more like 7 or 8 to me. Amazing how much 1 pound can make....particularly strapped on for several hours. Eyre
