He'd like to meet up with ICW members. If it's definitely going to happen, I'll post the time and place to meet, here. Right now, early afternoon has been bandied about.   Ibanezfreak1960 Username: Ibanezfreak1960 Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Tuesday, June 21, 2005 - 11:49 am:    Bump   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Tuesday, June 21, 2005 - 6:33 pm:    Bumpity bump bump   Jeffsailor Username: Jeffsailor Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Tuesday, June 21, 2005 - 11:32 pm:    I will be there Saturday. I'm only about 15 minutes from the expo center, so what ever time you guys decide will be cool with me. I will be looking at the Strats...Gotta get me a bowling ball !   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Wednesday, June 22, 2005 - 9:50 am:    OK, it's time for everybody who is going to meet at the show on Sat., 25th to check in. It looks like Paul Specht, the Director of Marketing for Hoshino USA and one of the motivating forces behind the Ibanez: The Untold Story book, can meet with ICW members around 2 pm. The exact location at the show to meet up is yet to be determined. Keep watching this thread. If you are going to be there, please leave a message here with your preferred T-shirt size.   Ibanezfreak1960 Username: Ibanezfreak1960 Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Wednesday, June 22, 2005 - 11:05 am:    I'll be there size XXL.   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Wednesday, June 22, 2005 - 4:04 pm:    Deadline!!! If you are going to the Philly show on Sat. June 25, the deadline to check in and get a T-shirt is 3 p.m. on Thursday the 22nd   Usacustom Username: Usacustom Registered: 06-2005 Posted on Wednesday, June 22, 2005 - 4:06 pm:    I will be there too. Size medium.   Espn Username: Espn Registered: 01-2005 Posted on Thursday, June 23, 2005 - 5:51 am:    I am thinking of going to the show , I live in CT . Is it worth it, is it a prettybig show?. Also does anybody know if I were to take a train there how big a hassle woud it be to get to the show, I was thinking of this instead of driving and dealing with the NY/NJ traffic any help would be great.   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Thursday, June 23, 2005 - 3:31 pm:    Espn: It's not NAMM, but it does attract a lot of the dealers you see adverting in the Vintage Guitar magazine. The last few years there's been a lot of jazz players hanging around and playing in the lounge. I don't have a clue about the trains, sorry. It would be a long trip though.   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Thursday, June 23, 2005 - 5:15 pm:    OK, everyone that wants to get together at the show on Sat., the 25th, let's meet at the refreshment area at 2 o'clock. I'll be wearing my ICW T-shirt.   Jeffsailor Username: Jeffsailor Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Thursday, June 23, 2005 - 7:54 pm:    Anyone bringing anything special?   Usacustom Username: Usacustom Registered: 06-2005 Posted on Friday, June 24, 2005 - 8:51 am:    I will be bringing the ST-Custom and an 1982 Iceman flamed maple top with ebony board, abalone slant inlays. I have a Bob Weir signature and a USRG20, if someone is interested let me know what to bring.   Brentm Username: Brentm Registered: 03-2005 Posted on Friday, June 24, 2005 - 10:10 am:    Any chance that there'll be extra Tee's after the show? *VBG*   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Friday, June 24, 2005 - 8:42 pm:    Brent: When I get some free time, I'll look into getting some more ICW T-shirts made up. But things are very busy right now, so it will be some time, yet.   Brentm Username: Brentm Registered: 03-2005 Posted on Friday, June 24, 2005 - 9:36 pm:    Cool, no worries. I'd come to the show if it were closer, or I happen to be in town. Being a geek by nature, I'm always looking for the free t-shirts and swag - but heck, I'd pay for an ICW t-shirt. I'm sure others would also. I really enjoy this site! Thanks for the hard work. -Brent   Ibanezfreak1960 Username: Ibanezfreak1960 Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Saturday, June 25, 2005 - 7:19 am:    See ya all there today!!!!   Ibanezfreak1960 Username: Ibanezfreak1960 Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Sunday, June 26, 2005 - 6:49 am:    Well this was fun for me I got to see USACustoms ST Custom and it was sweet. Jeff, email me. I have your Tee Shirt we can meet up at GC whenever you get time and I'll give it to you.   Jeffsailor Username: Jeffsailor Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Sunday, June 26, 2005 - 9:13 am:    I had a ton of things to do yesterday so I had to change my schedule. I was there earlier in the morning and was out of there by 12:30. Freak, I appreciate you thinking of me. I'll drop you a line during the week and we can make arrangements. Thanks. js   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Sunday, June 26, 2005 - 9:26 am:    I had a great time, too. Here's some pictures to start off. This is CustomUSA (his mother likes to call him Gary ) holding his ST Custom. This guitar was very exciting to see. Hoshino provided the original order form for this guitar with all the specs documented. Here's the ICW gang that met up with Paul Specht of Hoshino. Left to right: Paul, Gary, Brian, Me. (Jeff what happened to you?) I'll post pictures of some of the guitars later.   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Monday, November 07, 2005 - 11:53 am:    OK, if you missed the Summer show, you've got another chance to come out to the Fall show and meet with me and Paul Specht of Hoshino, USA. Paul and I will be meeting with anybody else who can make it, at 1:00 on Sat. If you can definitely make it, let me know what your T-shirt size is.

Hope to see you guys. -js   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Saturday, November 12, 2005 - 8:56 pm:    Well, Jeff was able to make it. Here's proof:   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Sunday, November 20, 2005 - 11:05 am:    Here's more pictures of the November 12, 2005 Philly Guitar show:   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Sunday, November 20, 2005 - 11:08 am:    And more...   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Sunday, November 20, 2005 - 11:10 am:    And more...   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Sunday, November 20, 2005 - 11:12 am:    and the last two...   Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Sunday, November 20, 2005 - 12:17 pm:    Thanks for the shots John. I'm sure I'll make it there one day. six   Tubescorcher Username: Tubescorcher Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Sunday, November 20, 2005 - 2:00 pm:    Hey John, What did they want for RR400CS in the picts? Also the AM255? Thanks!!!   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Monday, November 21, 2005 - 9:04 am:    Tubescorcher: The tag on the RR400CS says $950 and the AM255 says $1200. The Roadstar under the RR400 (no price tag) looks a lot like the one on ebay: http://www.qksrv.net/click-1802666-10381315?loc=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI .dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D7366008262 It wasn't really a cherryburst, though. I'd call it a lemonburst. My picture turned out redder than it looked in real life. Jeff Sailor wondered if it was refined.   Jeffsailor Username: Jeffsailor Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Monday, November 21, 2005 - 10:28 am:    I talked with the seller about the 255 and he would have taken $1000. It was a very nice specimen.   Tubescorcher Username: Tubescorcher Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Tuesday, November 22, 2005 - 6:36 pm:    Thanks for the replies Guys!!! Was the seller local? I'm about 12 min. outside Philly on the Jersey side. I can't shell $950 for the V unless it was NOS condition, but the 255 I'd be interested in. Thanks Again! John   Ibanezkid Username: Ibanezkid Registered: 6-2007 Posted on Saturday, June 16, 2007 - 9:20 pm:    johns, how much was the 2680.[bob weir]   Ibanezfreak1960 Username: Ibanezfreak1960 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Saturday, June 16, 2007 - 10:02 pm:    Kid I was there that day it looks like it says 500 usa dollars. Thats about right for that year. they have one at my local GC they want 899 for. A little steep in my opinion for the condition.   Jchester Username: Jchester Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Sunday, June 17, 2007 - 1:23 am:    Kid... you're showing great taste, for one of such limited years! I don't know what kind of condition the one Freak's talking about might be in, but $899 would be OK, for one in 8+ condition, these days, I'd think.   Ibanezfreak1960 Username: Ibanezfreak1960 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Sunday, June 17, 2007 - 8:39 am:    Jchester its was nice when they 1st got it but there are binding problems. Johns played also and that was last year. Its gotten worse since then becuase now its sitting on the floor getting knocked around by anyone who wanders in the store.
