Cappy ask's who's had a recent try or flashback to this closet classic , what would you pay, what's appeared in your area lately. I want your feedback ! Captain Ibanez I will put the scans up to stimulate the collective juices over the weekend from the my archives Ibaniod (Ibaniod) Posted on Friday, August 20, 2004 - 2:09 pm:    Hello from Houston , Tx. I have a CN100, and while it's not as "fancy" as the CN250, I think that (a) the CN series have great tone, (b) hmmm, PRS looks a whole lot like a "lawsuit" copy. Bottom line, they were a bit ahead of their time and now people realize just how good they are.

If they "re-issue", go for a set neck. The bigger headstocks were nice as well as the vine.

Two Super70's and a single coil in the middle with optional trem or wrap over bridge. Whad'ya say? six Sixvsix (Sixvsix) Posted on Saturday, August 21, 2004 - 8:00 pm:    Oh yeah and that fancy short version "Tree of Life" on the top end models fingerboard. six Ericsson (Ericsson) Posted on Sunday, August 22, 2004 - 2:39 am:    the cn250 is not a model i'm real into... did they pick it cause the body shape is kind of similar to PRS? but yes, the suggestions above are good with vine and big headstock. script logo? aluminum flight case? make sure it gets the cool pearloid tuner buttons with the tighteners on the shaft. also remember the main competition will be the vintage models, and i don't think they go for too much money right now. thanks for your efforts it will be cool to see how this turns out! Johns (Johns) Posted on Sunday, August 22, 2004 - 9:02 am:    The only thing that would interest me about a reissue of the Concert would be the vine and a setneck. Going to a setneck would be differing from the original specs, but there is precedent for a setneck with the Magnum (and Greco, maybe?) version of this model.
