I checked this out too, and it really does look like an Ibby, though, circa 1970-71. I bet it's a nice player.   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Monday, December 03, 2007 - 12:16 pm:    It does have Maxon pickups... mk   Peterdryan Username: Peterdryan Registered: 6-2007 Posted on Monday, December 03, 2007 - 3:04 pm:    Chuck - If you go to: http://www.ibanez-vintage-page.com/ then go into the 1973 Guitars section. Scroll down until you find the Model 2352. Blank headstock and it's an Ibanez catalog. - Pete   Chucke99 Username: Chucke99 Registered: 2-2007 Posted on Monday, December 03, 2007 - 3:57 pm:    I know about the blank logo pics in catalogs, but I think that was more so different resellers could sell the same Fujigen guitars under different brands. So Hoshino could use the catalog to sell Ibanez branded guitars, and Kanda Shokai could use it to sell Grecos. But that's my assumption.   Peterdryan Username: Peterdryan Registered: 6-2007 Posted on Monday, December 03, 2007 - 8:25 pm:    Ah, that's possible. So, how does a collector tell what flavor it is?   Chucke99 Username: Chucke99 Registered: 2-2007 Posted on Monday, December 03, 2007 - 8:37 pm:    Imagine someone shows you three Custom Agents. One is branded "Ibanez," another "Antoria," and the last "Electa." Which is worth more to an Ibanez collector, even though all three are identical in construction? My point is that the label means a lot to collectors, so the absence of a label will affect desirability as well.   Harry Username: Harry Registered: 3-2001 Posted on Tuesday, December 04, 2007 - 3:45 am:    That's so true, Chuck. I own a few "no-name" Fuji Gen guitars that could have been Ibanez, Antoria, or whatever. I also have two Antoria double neck guitars (sunburst Jazzbass/Strat and a white 12/6 Strat). They fit perfectly in my collection (they might have gotten the Ibby logo just the same..) and even if they are of equal quality and construction: if I ever come across these models that really DO have the Ibanez logo on the headstock I will immediately replace the unbranded instruments. The Ibanez logo on a genuine Fuji Gen guitar is somewhat like a "top of whipped cream" on a strawberry cake to me. Harry
