There is very little I have read about them and wondered if any of you own one and how you like it.( I have now acquired an '81 ar100 and a '79 ar300/2619 and am really enjoying them both ) Ib   Emilio Username: Emilio Registered: 9-2004 Posted on Friday, April 27, 2007 - 10:18 am:    In my opinion a fantastic guitar, amazing power and sound,one of my all time favourits. If you get it you will not be disapointed cheers emilio   Ibnose Username: Ibnose Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Friday, April 27, 2007 - 11:29 am:    That is a great endorsement Emilio. Very much appreciated. Any idea what its worth if condition overall is very good? I've only seen pics-looks at least v.g. thanks Ib   Emilio Username: Emilio Registered: 9-2004 Posted on Friday, April 27, 2007 - 12:36 pm:    Well, prices it's a tricky thing, but relation Price-quality nowadays I would range them around 800 U$ and I know I might get attack, but they are fantastic guitars, really worth, anything under is a steal for what you get........Bring them g****n!!!!!,and lets hear the sound,.......... cheers emilio   Ibnose Username: Ibnose Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Friday, April 27, 2007 - 2:08 pm:    Do you know if the neck is bolt or set? On the Argus price list I find in one of the other links, the Performer PF300 is described as "Les Paul model screw neck". The PF230 is similar but described as "stick neck". Anyone know the relative terms? cheers IB   Dave_g Username: Dave_g Registered: 1-2002 Posted on Friday, April 27, 2007 - 2:33 pm:    Ibnose...The PF series covers a bunch of models. In the USA these models were the PF100 (Laminate top, dot neck, bolt on), PF200 (Laminate top, Block inlays, bolt on), PF230 (Laminate top, block inlays, triple pup, bolt neck), PF300(Laminate top, block inlays, set in glued neck)and the PF400 ( solid maple capped mohagany body,block inlays, set in glued neck) The european version included many other models (PF155, PF350, etc)   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 2-2001 Posted on Saturday, April 28, 2007 - 1:40 pm:    $800.00 for PF300? Really? I didn't think that they have appreciated that much. I would hope that $650.00 would get you a PF300 and $800.00 for a PF400. Maybe I'm out of touch with the current prices.   Emilio Username: Emilio Registered: 9-2004 Posted on Saturday, April 28, 2007 - 1:58 pm:    Ok,Yes I think that 800 it's maybe a bit too much,but they are so good........   Lvdvondel Username: Lvdvondel Registered: 9-2005 Posted on Friday, May 04, 2007 - 4:16 am:    I own one, in near mint condition. It's a great looking instrument, plays better than my '93 gibson LP, has a better finish and sounds just about the same (My Gibson sounds a bit brighter clean but the PF300 has more definition when played with distortion). To me, it's a better instrument than my Gibson. So yes, to me it is more worth than 800$. Still looking for a PF400 though (considering the spec's and the high quality of the PF300, this should really rock!).   Ibanezkid Username: Ibanezkid Registered: 6-2007 Posted on Thursday, June 07, 2007 - 8:08 pm:    i'm new here but i'll add my 2 cents. iv'e got a 1978 ibanez pf300nt in near mint cond all orig execpt 1 suregrip2 knob and it's value is approx $400-500.   Ibanezkid Username: Ibanezkid Registered: 6-2007 Posted on Thursday, June 07, 2007 - 8:10 pm:    sorry that's a supergrip2 knob.   Ibanezkid Username: Ibanezkid Registered: 6-2007 Posted on Sunday, June 10, 2007 - 4:58 pm:    sorry its a suregrip 1 ••••.
