Many of you here will know that, as a UK Ibanez enthusiast, I also enjoy Antorias. I have a Memphis 74, otherwise known as a Custom Agent, and a bolt-neck LP (humble, but a great player). I came across these on an MSN group site dedicated to Antorias. Credit for these amazing pics has to go to Mel; I don't know who he is, but these are apparently part of some 70's publicity literature in the form of a fake vinyl album cover. Enjoy the Roger Dean style graphics! Sooo kitch!

aaaah! that's better! Seems as if Antoria did ALL the rare early 70s versions that Ibanez did.

I should have done that before. I just realised that the 2674 in the shot isn't black. Did Ibanez do a sunburst version of this? Seems like there may be some very unusual Antorias out there waiting to be uncovered...

Here's the pictures of the Antoria 2617. There's no doubt that this is the product of the same factory that made the Ibanez Custom Agent and the model 2617.

Looks like the truss rod cover and tuners have been hijacked from a Musician.
