Still, I couldn't resist when I spotted an old Ibanez ES-175 copy at a pawn shop while traveling this weekend. (No serial # so I'm thinking it's a '74/'75). Super nice condition. I got it home and I've been playing it. It sounds great but I still suck. I guess I'm having a little buyer's remorse. Despite the fact that it's a sweet guitar, I realize I don't "need" it and probably won't use it much. I'm on the fence about keeping it. The problem is that it didn't have a case with it so I'll probably need to spend another $150 on it before I can sell it. Anyway, I'm just throwing this out there. If somebody is really looking for a blonde 2616, get in touch with me via private e-mail. If I sell it I want to make a little money on it so it's not going to be bargain basement priced but it would be fair. BTW, I didn't put this is the classifieds because it's not really an offer to sell just yet. I'm just thinking out loud. Again, if someone is on a hunt for a es175 type guitar and is willing to pay a fair price maybe we should talk.   Gemberbier Username: Gemberbier Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Sunday, April 29, 2007 - 11:00 pm:    Mac, All you need is a DREADNOUGHT case with an arched lid. I use a Lonestar case for my Zephyr Regent. I think $80-90 will be enough. Please, let us enjoy those star inlays and bindings by posting some pics!

I've all but decided to keep the guitar for a while rather than sell it. Though, I suppose there is such a thing as an offer too good to pass up. So, that being said, here's a few photos. The guitar is damn near pristine. It's only got a few issues as far as I can tell. A long crack (just in the finish, I believe) eminating from one of the knob holes. I shorter crack (again just in the finish I think) at the jack location. Also there's a split/crack in the binding at the rear of the heel. Maybe you can see it in the photos: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d196/Bladeswitch er/Ibanez1.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d196/Bladeswitch er/Ibanez2.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d196/Bladeswitch er/Ibanez3.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d196/Bladeswitch er/Ibanez4.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d196/Bladeswitch er/Ibanez5.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d196/Bladeswitch er/Ibanez6.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d196/Bladeswitch er/Ibanez7.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d196/Bladeswitch er/Ibanez8.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d196/Bladeswitch er/Ibanez9.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d196/Bladeswitch er/Ibanez10.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d196/Bladeswitch er/Ibanez11.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d196/Bladeswitch er/Ibanez12.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d196/Bladeswitch er/Ibanez13.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d196/Bladeswitch er/Ibanez14.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d196/Bladeswitch er/Ibanez15.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d196/Bladeswitch er/Ibanez16.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d196/Bladeswitch er/Ibanez17.jpg   Mceowen Username: Mceowen Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Friday, May 04, 2007 - 11:20 pm:    OK, what am I doing wrong? How do I post photos so they appear in the message?   Talajuha Username: Talajuha Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Saturday, May 05, 2007 - 4:42 am:    Mceowen, Click Formatting link on the left and scroll down to "Images, Attachments, and Clipart" to find instructions.   Mceowen Username: Mceowen Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Saturday, May 05, 2007 - 7:45 am:    Yeah, I read that, but I don't believe I ever got the prompt for images. Could it be because I'm using Safari on a Mac?   Talajuha Username: Talajuha Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Saturday, May 05, 2007 - 3:46 pm:    I have never seen Safari but I think all webbrowsers work in the same way today. Did you type \image{something} ? Then after clicking [Preview/Post Message] you should get Preview window and there After clicking [Post this message] you get Browse and Upload buttons Pictures must be on your computer.   Mceowen Username: Mceowen Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Saturday, May 05, 2007 - 4:31 pm:      Mceowen Username: Mceowen Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Saturday, May 05, 2007 - 4:32 pm:      Mceowen Username: Mceowen Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Saturday, May 05, 2007 - 4:33 pm:    OK, I get it.

It's a beauty. And guaranteed as you play it more, the sucking will end.   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Sunday, May 06, 2007 - 5:47 pm:    It's beautiful! mk   Harry Username: Harry Registered: 3-2001 Posted on Monday, May 07, 2007 - 5:20 am:    Wow!.....
