I wonder what he's basing the $1,849 on. http://cgi.ebay.com/1982-Artist-Ibanez_W0QQitemZ7399489811QQcategoryZ33040QQrdZ1 QQcmdZViewItem   Bobzilla Username: Bobzilla Registered: 02-2005 Posted on Tuesday, March 21, 2006 - 12:56 pm:    P.S. - this is the same shop that's selling the brown Weir. Pricey shop.... ay?   Bobzilla Username: Bobzilla Registered: 02-2005 Posted on Tuesday, March 21, 2006 - 3:53 pm:    I guess this my own private thread here but.... actually, it's NOT a 2622 after all. What is it?   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Tuesday, March 21, 2006 - 4:02 pm:    Ar-300. Yes, very expensive. Tri-sounds. No EQ. mk   Bobzilla Username: Bobzilla Registered: 02-2005 Posted on Tuesday, March 21, 2006 - 4:17 pm:    Thanx Mike. When I looked at it again, I noticed it wasn't the 2622. Nice guitar though. To me this is "crazy" expensive. Nice guitar though.   Russellhodgson Username: Russellhodgson Registered: 01-2006 Posted on Tuesday, March 21, 2006 - 7:59 pm:    WOW!!!! That's INSANE!!!! I can't believe what their asking that much.... Wow....It is very nice.. But not that nice!!!!   B5erik Username: B5erik Registered: 02-2006 Posted on Tuesday, March 21, 2006 - 11:28 pm:    That's Freedom Guitar at it again. Asking twice what something's worth. They do that when they get something halfway collectible. I've been in the store several times over the last 15 years. Decent prices on "non collectible" guitars, but when they get something like this they shoot for the moon. I'd never pay that much for that guitar. I can't imagine that anyone else would, either.   Brentm Username: Brentm Registered: 03-2005 Posted on Tuesday, March 21, 2006 - 11:47 pm:    Personal pet peeve of mine are guitars that hang by their tuning machines.. Call me crazy.   Strings Username: Strings Registered: 01-2005 Posted on Wednesday, March 22, 2006 - 12:15 am:    Totally disagree that 'it is only worth half that.' In fact, since these kick the snot out of most Les Pauls I've played (in tone, craftmanship and detail), why would they not draw close to the same cash? Especially AVs which seem far less common than the CS finish. Recently, an '84 (with a lesser bridge config IMNSHO) in excellent condition went for $1,500+ US. Personally I think all of these Ibanez Artist legends are worth that jing if you are going to use Gibson as the guideline. Perhaps the better question is, why are the average '70s - '90s Gibsons priced around $2,000 on average? Ohterwise, I guess you pay what you get for ;O)   B5erik Username: B5erik Registered: 02-2006 Posted on Wednesday, March 22, 2006 - 1:13 am:    Perhaps, saying that its "twice what it's worth," is coming from the wrong angle - it's probably more accurate to say that their price for that guitar is just about twice what those guitars are going for on ebay or craigslist. But you are absolutely correct that it's significantly better than a comparable Gibson - which would go for that price - or even more than that price. Then again, a lot of people, myself included, think that Gibsons are way overpriced right now as it is. But I'd definitely take an AR300 or a 2619 over a Les Paul any day.
