I'm wondering if anyone has a feel for the market for these things? What would be a reasonable selling price. These are pretty rare birds, only made a couple of years. Since they're so rare it's hard to come up with examples of prevous sales. If you go to the search feature and enter "AR1500" the first thread that will come up is one I started some time back called "tell me about the ar1500." A few messages down in that thread you can see pictures of my guitar. Since those photos were posted I've reinstalled the original Ibanez pickups. The guitar has a few dings and scratches but it's basically clean. There is that nasty chunk in the back though. You can see it in one of the photos.

Not much info on what kind of money they are worth. As you say they are just not common enough to get comparisons on. I'd say a starting point would be like a mint AR500 and go up from there.   Mceowen Username: Mceowen Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Saturday, March 25, 2006 - 6:26 pm:    I suppose we'll find out soon enough. I posted it on eBay . . .   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Saturday, March 25, 2006 - 8:00 pm:    Mceowen: Do you have an item number?   Pitviper Username: Pitviper Registered: 08-2005 Posted on Saturday, March 25, 2006 - 8:12 pm:    I would imagine this is it John. http://www.qksrv.net/click-1802666-10381315?loc=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI .dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D7401946639   Mceowen Username: Mceowen Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Saturday, March 25, 2006 - 9:36 pm:    I didn't know if it was appropriate to post your own ebay listing here. Thanks Pitviper . . .   Mceowen Username: Mceowen Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Monday, March 27, 2006 - 4:25 pm:    So, do you suppose this guy will send me a cut on his auction in exchange for ripping off my description wording? Here's his auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/1983-Ibanez-Artist-Guitar-NR_W0QQitemZ7402134383QQcategoryZ3 3043QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Here's mine, posted three days earlier. Notice any similarity? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7401946639&rd=1&sspagename=ST RK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1   Fox Username: Fox Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Monday, March 27, 2006 - 7:27 pm:    McEowen, Seems that this other guy does not know woods, the fingerbd on his guitar is ebony.. Still,a "familiar" eBay ripoff. Methinks..
