The lady that is in the picture with ya O'l Cappy,was my first customer of the day.She came in with her grand children dragging along a semi beat up Ibanez acoustic case.She had no idea that what was in the case would change her day. On opening the case, I was to behold a mint condition Ibanez F300CS Floral series acoustic.She had stored it under the bed for the last 8 years,and was just starting to use it again,when she was approached by a relative who wanted to offer her a $100.00 for it. Well after I explained the details of her guitar to her,and we picked her jaw up off the floor, she decided to keep this "classic" acoustic model. Ah, the joys of Japanese craftsmanship,untouched for 8 years with strings at tension and the neck was a straight as. So we gave it a Meguires polish, some new D'addarios Phosphors and the results speak for themselves in the pic. Another Happy Customer Here's one of ya O'l Cappy crackin' the AF105NT..damm fine axe to grind Ibanezfreak1960 Username: Ibanezfreak1960 Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Wednesday, September 28, 2005 - 1:30 pm:    Yo Cappy, nice to here from you! I'm still waiting on the AF105NT. Its been on back order for 4 months and is taking longer then my AR3000 Prestige did.

I see that you've traded your shorts for cammo. You've got some serious wattage in those amps behind you.

Jeffsailor Username: Jeffsailor Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Wednesday, September 28, 2005 - 7:41 pm:    And while you're at it, let us in on the story of the white one as well. Is that the anniversary model? js Captainibanez Username: Captainibanez Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Wednesday, September 28, 2005 - 10:37 pm:    Hey guys, yeah its great to back around again,its been really busy for me lately. Ok, let me answer your questions in order. Freaky, I know you have had to wait a fair while, but its worth the wait. The factory is now on top of production orders and everything is going smoothly AF105's are rolling out the door. I think IMOP, this guitar took off like a rocket, which overwhelmed the factory a bit.Remember, this is a new factory being taught "Old School" Japanese guitar building,"all good things come to those who wait"! Hang in there Freaky...not long now. Johns; Well mate what can I say,winter has only just finished "downunder".Besides, the cammo pants are more comfy and have more pockets than the blue lycra superhero suit. I knew you would drool profusely when you saw this F300CS, should hear the tone of it with the new strings...my eyes filled with tears let me tell ya !So warm Michael, That is Spiro's 81 AR500,its in near mint condition, which reminds me...it needs a new battery.It always gets plenty of ooo's and aahh's Jeff, Yeah thats my AR250AHS PW. # 17 of 25 These 25 Artists were built in 2003 to celebrate the 25 year partnership between Australis Music and Hoshino Gakki. At this time the company I work for had been the distributor of Ibanez in Australia since 1978. The 25 guitars were only available in Australia, They are a neck thru construction, special anniversary wound pickups,chrome hardware ,and polar white metallic paint. If you would like to own one of these rare birds, # 22 of 25 is up for sale for $1900.00 in mint condition and its special case. Let me know if you or anyone else is interested in a purchase and I will put you intouch with the seller. Jeff, it sounded awesome through those Ibanez stacks...clean or dirty Jeffsailor Username: Jeffsailor Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Thursday, September 29, 2005 - 3:10 pm:    I assume that's 1900 Aussie, right? If so, then yes, I may be interested. I remember you posted close-up photos of one of these a while back. I'll search them out. If you don't mind, you can forward the seller's email address to me at jeffsailor@verizon.net.
