I just stumbled onto (not literally, thank goodness)my first vintage Ibanez at a local pawn shop here on Vancouver Island. Its an '81 Artist 100, beautiful natural finish flame maple to, all original. I can't believe it was only $200!!! Anyways, I saw this artist on Ebay and figured it'd be worth linking http://cgi.ebay.com/Ibanez-Vintage-Artist-Model-Very-Nice_W0QQitemZ7405422694QQc ategoryZ33043QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem   Sideshowsteve Username: Sideshowsteve Registered: 04-2006 Posted on Friday, April 07, 2006 - 8:50 am:    Wow, here one more on craigslist Los Angeles that seems like a fantastic deal!!! link{http://losangeles.craigslist.org/msg/148829591.html}   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Friday, April 07, 2006 - 9:11 am:    Sideshowsteve: Good to have you with us. Let's see some photos of your AR100. That ebay Artist is an '83 AR305. Looks very nice. Here's the ICW-friendly version of the URL for that auction. Please use it to place bids, if possible. http://www.qksrv.net/click-1802666-10381315?loc=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI .dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D7405422694   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Friday, April 07, 2006 - 9:16 am:    Steve: Congrats on finding 2, very nice AR305s. If it's in very good condition, $800.00 is a good price for one of these.   Hasenobu Username: Hasenobu Registered: 01-2006 Posted on Friday, April 07, 2006 - 10:31 am:    Regarding the AR305 in L.A., how come it has an output on the body top...? If it's a kind of modification, what's its point, I wonder?   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Friday, April 07, 2006 - 10:58 am:    Hasenbu: Good eyes! Good question, too. Anybody in the 213 area code want to check into that?   Strings Username: Strings Registered: 01-2005 Posted on Friday, April 07, 2006 - 1:18 pm:    It's not a stock position for that jack I know that much. The eBay one has some pretty serious dings too. And what does "avaerage playwear for a guitar of this age" mean. Worn down?;O)   B5erik Username: B5erik Registered: 02-2006 Posted on Friday, April 07, 2006 - 9:29 pm:    The Artist on L.A. Craigslist has been altered - the jack has been moved (for what reason God only knows). I asked the seller about that one. It's still an OK deal, but that kind of alteration is something I wouldn't be real happy with. I wonder if it could be changed back without much of the previous alteration being noticeable...   Sideshowsteve Username: Sideshowsteve Registered: 04-2006 Posted on Friday, April 07, 2006 - 11:51 pm:    Hi Johns I'll post a pic in the next few days. My camera just broke, so I'm getting a new one this weekend.
