Author Message Fg100 Username: Fg100 Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Friday, March 24, 2006 - 11:41 am:    I just got a '81 AR300... I bought it from the first owner. He kept it always in the case so, it's in really good shape... I'm VERY happy! Does anybody have a trussrod wrench for the AR300? Where can I get one? Thanks a lot!

Maybe it's a standart type and I could find a similar one..? If I can't find in the coming days (week) I'll call you... I can't see the time to get it setup.

You would need a deep size socket. Fg100 Username: Fg100 Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Friday, March 24, 2006 - 6:15 pm:    Thanks Tube! Do you know what would be the measurement? (in mm) Fg100 Username: Fg100 Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Saturday, March 25, 2006 - 11:44 am:    Does anybody have any literature about setting up an AR300? I would really appreciate any information. What about the radius? Do I need to set the saddles height according to a radius? String height (min/max... Recommendations)? What would be the max string gauge? BTW, what do you think about mixing string sets? Like putting on a 0.11 top "E" string and a set of 0.10 for the other 5? So you would have some more "body" when playing a melody on the top "E". Some people mention the risk of twisting the neck... Would this (a thicker top E string) pose any risk? Thank you guys in advance. I might finally get a Digicam this week (I'm still trying to learn something about it before deciding what to buy)... I'll post some pics.

Wait for it to be listed again. Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Wednesday, January 24, 2007 - 8:58 pm:    Did anyone here get this '81 AR300CS for $1,175.00? http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=1802666&mpre=ht tp%3A//cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D280071806538 Tubescorcher Username: Tubescorcher Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Wednesday, January 24, 2007 - 9:42 pm:    I was wondering myself. The '81 I picked up last month went for $775 and it's in just as good a shape as this one. Plus it still has it's original frets in great shape. Someone must of really wanted this one. It's all about the timing. I almost went nuts on a Lukather tonight but I stopped myself with 4 minutes to spare. All the best to who ever got it. It does look beautiful!!!! Peace
