Thanks!

Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Thursday, September 08, 2005 - 9:47 am:    What a SHAME! Is that a patch of wood underneath the tailpiece post? Are we sure that this is an AS30 and not an AS50 with a funky looking handwritten label? Yogi Username: Yogi Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Thursday, September 08, 2005 - 10:56 am:    That AS50 was on Ebay Germany about 2 month ago and sold for 351 Euro. This seller "borrowed" the pics of the original auction, throws in a Epi-case and all of a sudden some 0-feedback bidders show up... Here's a link to the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7335360573 Juergen Funkle Username: Funkle Registered: 12-2001 Posted on Thursday, September 08, 2005 - 11:13 am:    That's unfortunate, those marks do look like a relic effort. The who;e relic thing is incomprehensible to me. I think it is an AS80 or AS50. Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Thursday, September 08, 2005 - 11:24 am:    Yogi: Thanks for tracking down it's history. So, now we know it is an AS50. The original auction graded this guitar an 8/10 because of the finish! On what planet would this be an 8? Dave_g Username: Dave_g Registered: 01-2002 Posted on Thursday, September 08, 2005 - 2:27 pm:    Remember Bizzaro world from the old Superman comix ? Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Thursday, September 08, 2005 - 2:42 pm:    Dave: Ahhh, now it all makes sense! Speaking of Bizarro World, does anyone know which one of these musicians was an Ibanez endorser on the late 70s? Artfield Username: Artfield Registered: 04-2001 Posted on Thursday, September 08, 2005 - 2:43 pm:    Get it cheap and do a mod on it (its an easy job) could come out very fine... you don't see them too much and remember its Japanese Build...

Ibanezfreak1960 Username: Ibanezfreak1960 Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Friday, September 09, 2005 - 7:14 am:    Paul Stanley with the star. He really aged and needs to shave in this pic.
