I know that Global was a brand used by Hoshino, but it definitely won't carry the weight of an Ibanez for resale. It's a nice looking guitar. The guy wants just $150 for it, but it's like 40 miles away from me. Thoughts?   Chucke99 Username: Chucke99 Registered: 2-2007 Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2007 - 7:50 pm:    More shots:   Talajuha Username: Talajuha Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Friday, May 18, 2007 - 5:28 am:    '70's strato copy, not low budget category(?), original parts(?), decent condition ... I'd pay $150 (~110 EUR) any day, at least after checking it live.

I've never heard of the Global brand, let alone any connection with Hoshino. Can you share what you've heard/read about this? Thanks.   Chucke99 Username: Chucke99 Registered: 2-2007 Posted on Friday, May 18, 2007 - 11:55 am:    Hmmm. I created a list of Hoshino "brands" from some posts on ICW, just so I could keep things straight in my mind. I think Global was mentioned as one. Maybe I'm not describing it correctly. They may not be a Hoshino "brand" but made in the same factory? Sorry for the confusion. I'll see if I can dig up the posting I went by. I know someone posted a rather comprehensive listing, but others chimed in on other brands.   Chucke99 Username: Chucke99 Registered: 2-2007 Posted on Friday, May 18, 2007 - 11:58 am:    It was from a post by a member named "Fox" back in 2004. The thread is named "Other Brands By Ibanez". Here's the text: ------------------------ Hello Peter I have some info about Ibanezes related trademarks: RELATED TRADEMARKS - IBANEZ (Hoshino Co.Japan) Isonez, Kasuga, Luxor, Halifax, Cimar, Maya, Morris, Global, Sekova, Polaris for European Market Antoria (CSI) England Distributor Greco for Japanese Market MANN for Canadian Market Jason for the Australian Market Penco, Elger, Univox for the US Market Aria and Electra are from Matsumoku, not affiliated with Hoshino... -----------------   Chucke99 Username: Chucke99 Registered: 2-2007 Posted on Friday, May 18, 2007 - 12:02 pm:    Oh, and BTW, I contacted the guy about coming down on Saturday to see the guitar and he had just sold it.
