Too Bad.   Markownly Username: Markownly Registered: 03-2006 Posted on Monday, March 20, 2006 - 3:08 pm:    This is a crying shame. Maybe the case is worth a hundred bucks, and get a guitar-doorstop to boot!   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Monday, March 20, 2006 - 4:10 pm:    You don't think anyone here can restore it?   Dave_g Username: Dave_g Registered: 01-2002 Posted on Monday, March 20, 2006 - 4:31 pm:    I think I might know some one who might take a stab at it !   Brentm Username: Brentm Registered: 03-2005 Posted on Monday, March 20, 2006 - 4:52 pm:    That's weird, I thought they put a walnut veneer on the top of the headstock... but you can see the sandwich on the stripped version...   Cmangeot Username: Cmangeot Registered: 04-2005 Posted on Monday, March 20, 2006 - 4:53 pm:    Ive only done two moderate restorations and I would try it. I might have to get this one!!!   Jeffsailor Username: Jeffsailor Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Monday, March 20, 2006 - 5:47 pm:    I plan on jumping in too! Brent, That's what it looks like under the headstock veneer. js   B5erik Username: B5erik Registered: 02-2006 Posted on Monday, March 20, 2006 - 10:44 pm:    I'd take a shot at it, but I'm saving what money I have for a 2619. It actually looks like a fun project to try and restore it. Of course, the winner must post pics - before and after shots!   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Monday, March 20, 2006 - 10:49 pm:    I like this "albino" Musician! Tis a shame that the headstock veneer is missing. Gonna make a nice project for someone.   Dave_g Username: Dave_g Registered: 01-2002 Posted on Tuesday, March 21, 2006 - 7:35 am:    John, Look again........its an Artist-2700 series   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Tuesday, March 21, 2006 - 8:11 am:    Dve: Hold on while I get my glasses. Oh yeah! Now I like it even more!   Ibanezfreak1960 Username: Ibanezfreak1960 Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Tuesday, March 21, 2006 - 1:09 pm:    Somebody grab that sucker and and bring her back to life!   Bobzilla Username: Bobzilla Registered: 02-2005 Posted on Tuesday, March 21, 2006 - 4:25 pm:    How much $$$ would you estimate needs to be dumped into this axe to bring it back to life? My estimate: $500 on the low end, if you farmed it out as opposed to a do-it-yourself job. I have a feeling we'll be seeing this axe down the road, in good shape. It's definitely tempting.   Ibanezfreak1960 Username: Ibanezfreak1960 Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Tuesday, March 21, 2006 - 4:38 pm:    I would say 5 to 750. Who knows what the eq needs to be salvaged? It would be a fun project though.   Ibanezfreak1960 Username: Ibanezfreak1960 Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Tuesday, March 21, 2006 - 4:42 pm:    Here are the pics from ebay...   Dave_g Username: Dave_g Registered: 01-2002 Posted on Tuesday, March 21, 2006 - 9:11 pm:    I'll get that puppy up an runnin in less than an hour with the help of the ole parts bin...Give a couple of weeks for the refin, but no way is this an expensive deal..I'll bet the harness is at least 85% there....I'll say $200 tops to get er back to ship shape...   Brentm Username: Brentm Registered: 03-2005 Posted on Tuesday, March 21, 2006 - 9:14 pm:    I bet that thing will go for a pretty penny. I bet it goes for more than I paid for my MC400 with the flight case. Too many bleeding hearts *grin* Funny how the cloud tail piece orientation changes between pictures..   Jeffsailor Username: Jeffsailor Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Tuesday, March 21, 2006 - 10:45 pm:    I've seen a ton of "project" guitars go for a lot more than they should. I think a lot of people get caught up with the notion of a restoration project and forget that they're about to spend more than an intact guitar would cost them. All it takes is two really enthusiastic bidders to let it get out of control. And I'm with you Dave, I have a few parts laying around as well that will get the puppy up and running pretty fast. js   Brentm Username: Brentm Registered: 03-2005 Posted on Saturday, April 01, 2006 - 9:54 pm:    Looks like I was wrong, it went for 382.87... Did any ICW members win that auction?
