I've been on the lookout for one of the old Artist guitars since my old guitar teacher got himself one off Ebay (just a bit after the new ones came out, I'd have picked one of those up by now but I hear the older one's are MUCH better). I've been following an auction for a 1980 AR300 and it's currently at £460/$930(ish) with a hard case and some new pickups - you can see it here :: Ebay Item #140167473311 How much are these valued at nowdays? Is it worth going in for it still?   Roland_g303 Username: Roland_g303 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Friday, October 19, 2007 - 8:32 pm:    The sound on that one will be a lot different than an original artist, because of the different pickups. Also, if you're in the states I would avoid that one, because you'll have to deal with customs, high shipping, and insurance that will increase the cost of that guitar considerably. Just my 2 cents...

Regular cases aren't sturdy enough to handle being thrown around by airport gorillas, and having a bunch of crap thrown on top of them in the luggage bins. My AR500 arrived from France with a cracked neck joint.   Heartfielder Username: Heartfielder Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Tuesday, November 13, 2007 - 11:12 pm:    I have an AR500 lying around for ya ...   Ekkerman Username: Ekkerman Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Wednesday, November 14, 2007 - 1:34 am:    pics heartfielder , pics!!!!   Jim777 Username: Jim777 Registered: 1-2004 Posted on Wednesday, November 14, 2007 - 4:24 pm:    AR-500?
