It is a Cimar 175 copy crafted in 1970. The price is 850 Euro. ... Any opinion?   Tristan Username: Tristan Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Monday, April 16, 2007 - 6:49 pm:    Hello mate and welcome to ICW! I never played a Cimar copy. But from what I've heard it's a "stripped down" Ibanez, that is, the quality of the materials isn't the same. This is again no first hand experience! I also think the price is way too high. I would aim high by saying 500 euros, really..   Petruz Username: Petruz Registered: 5-2004 Posted on Tuesday, April 17, 2007 - 3:42 am:    italy is the land of the GOLD DIGGERS...   Ziocesco Username: Ziocesco Registered: 3-2007 Posted on Tuesday, April 17, 2007 - 4:15 am:    You're right Petruz! the proof is that I recently found this offer for sale: IBANEZ John Scofield Signature dic 2004 JSM 90-VT. I remember that you already posted a remark about it times ago. Fortunately, the price went a little bit down (euro 300)   Petruz Username: Petruz Registered: 5-2004 Posted on Tuesday, April 17, 2007 - 9:36 am:    no one seems to know this model, probably it's an artcore, someone said it's a fake. obviously i was very curious to see it in person, if it was in rome i'd like to check it out, but the guy lives in naples.   Gemberbier Username: Gemberbier Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Tuesday, April 17, 2007 - 11:36 am:    "someone said it's a fake" That's right. One of my contacts at Serlui (Hoshino) Holland said that at least the label is a fake.

It was used by a singer in a blues band at a jazz and blues festival. From a distance it looked just like a Gibson... "Ci...." / "Gi...." ??? Of course I had to talk with the owner during their brake. He seemed quite satisfied...
