A friend just acquired an Ibanez V300BS in original plush-lined case, Serial No. 86020325T. I know that it's mahogany, and I believe it was made in the 80s - am I close? We are looking for history and other info as to its value. Are they selling very well, etc.? Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Ray |

Nacoma: The serial number would be consistent with the guitar being made in '86. You could do a Keyword Search (under the Utilities menu, on the left) for V300, in the Acoustic section, to find other messages with tidbits of V300 info. Here's the information I have about the V300 from the '84-'85 Acoustic catalog. The specs for the '86 model might be slightly different. Spruce top, not solid Mahogany back and sides Black & white binding Mahogany neck Rosewood fingerboard Rosewood bridge with Tru-Tone saddle Bridge End pins: Ivory with black dots Chrome covered tuners There was only Natural finish on the V300 in '84-'85 catalog. There was a TV (Tradtional Violin) finish on the V310. The V310 was the same as the V300 except for the addition of the ornamental inlay on the headstock and black & pearloid binding. Does your friend's have the ornamental inlay under the Ibanez logo on the headstock? |

Johns, thank you so much for the info. As for the inlay, I'm not remembering just now, but it seems it did. I have to call them later; I'll let you know. |
