Is this a refin?   Jeffsailor Username: Jeffsailor Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Sunday, March 12, 2006 - 7:39 am:    Brent, Not only is the sticker odd, the serial number is not 1 letter + 6 numbers as it should be for that vintage. I wonder if that sticker is covering the "real" serial number. Obviously its hard to tell from the pictures if its a refin, but that finish was offered on the PF series. If I were to guess, I would say its NOT a refin. But I bet someone, at some point, didn't (or doesn't) want anyone to see the real serial number. js   Ibanezfreak1960 Username: Ibanezfreak1960 Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Sunday, March 12, 2006 - 1:51 pm:    here is the sticker in question   Brentm Username: Brentm Registered: 03-2005 Posted on Sunday, March 12, 2006 - 3:28 pm:    Here's the sellers response. I got a little testy about him publishing my eBay ID on the question I submitted.. am 100% shure about this guitar #1 I did not know that publishing your name was poor form. So sorry , My bad. This guitar was bought new in 1979 or eary 1980 in Bridgport WV. And is 95%.like new. And nothing fishy about it at all. By the way it is not just a sticker, The serial number plate is inset in to the headstock. So get a biding man.   Artistseeker Username: Artistseeker Registered: 01-2006 Posted on Sunday, March 12, 2006 - 9:33 pm:    Fishy! Here is another trying to hide a serial number: http://www.qksrv.net/click-1802666-10381315?loc=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI .dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D7398173844 If they are going to hide these like this, why do they bother having a shot of the headstock???   Brentm Username: Brentm Registered: 03-2005 Posted on Sunday, March 12, 2006 - 11:13 pm:    HOT OR NOT!? Heh.. Obviously most of the folks here are saavy enough to know that when a seller hides something, there's a reason. There's always some uncertainty when dealing with used merchandise... It's unfortunate that searching the database that the authorities matinain is next to impossible (without merchandise in-hand). However, as a seller. I'd be more prone to releaseing the serial number, and dealing with someone that had a claim against the guitar, rather than hiding it and passing on the bad karma.   Jasma Username: Jasma Registered: 12-2005 Posted on Monday, March 13, 2006 - 3:18 am:    http://www.ibanezregister.com/Gallery/PF/gal-pf300.htm Hi Brent, I do have this PF300 and that does'nt have a serial no., only a sticker where the serial no should be saying: "Grafton Garanty 480 IBANEZ". The Guitar is absout mint and original , so I wonder what does that mean??? You cant tell on the photo but it does say PF300 on the truss cover.   Brentm Username: Brentm Registered: 03-2005 Posted on Monday, March 13, 2006 - 10:07 am:    Jasma, thanks for the tip. That is strange, I wonder why they left the factory without the standard serial number.   Russellhodgson Username: Russellhodgson Registered: 01-2006 Posted on Monday, March 13, 2006 - 7:17 pm:    The Plot Thickens!!!!!!!   Pitviper Username: Pitviper Registered: 08-2005 Posted on Monday, March 13, 2006 - 10:12 pm:    I agree with Brentm's summation. There's something thats not right there..most likely stolen.   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Thursday, April 27, 2006 - 8:39 pm:    Here's a 1978 PF300 with fancy tailpiece on UK Ebay.

Gotta love the respect there.,   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Friday, April 28, 2006 - 8:36 am:    Pitviper: That's not dirt, it's mulch! Makes all the difference in the world.
