I've had it for about 10 years now... picked it up in Sydney, Australia. The condition is pretty good but as you'd guess, the plating has largely worn off the hardware. Interestingly it has a brass nut... can anyone tell me if that is original (I'm assuming it is for the moment). I have flat wound strings on it for that sweet jazz sound. It plays really beautifully. Enjoy. Thanks, Rob   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 2-2001 Posted on Thursday, November 01, 2007 - 8:02 pm:    Rob: That's a gorgeous guitar! Love that flame maple and those star inlays. The brass nut doesn't sound correct, to me. You're also missing a solid black pickguard. You can see some pictures of another 2616NT with guard and plastic nut in this thead: http://www.ibanezcollectors.com/cgi-bin/discus/sho w.cgi?tpc=16&post=64797#POST64797   Strungout Username: Strungout Registered: 11-2007 Posted on Thursday, November 01, 2007 - 8:13 pm:    Thanks man, I'd forgotten to mention the pick guard... but to be honest I don't miss it... it would just cover that gorgeous woodwork. The 2616 in the link you posted is stunning... looks pretty close to mint condition! Any idea what the NT after the 2616 stands for?   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 2-2001 Posted on Thursday, November 01, 2007 - 8:40 pm:    NT stands for Natural. There was a CS for Cherry Sunburst, also.   Jimmys Username: Jimmys Registered: 5-2003 Posted on Tuesday, November 06, 2007 - 5:25 am:    Hey Rob, Nice looking guitar. What great flame! There can't be too many of those in Oz. There's an Ibanez Collectors day in December in Sydney. Maybe you are interested in coming along? The details are on this forum in a topic somewhere. Captain Ibanez is arranging it. Cheers, James   Strungout Username: Strungout Registered: 11-2007 Posted on Monday, November 19, 2007 - 12:48 am:    •••• straight I'm interested...!!! Will look it up and see you there...! Rob
