Anyone got one, or know where one is??   Jeffsailor Username: Jeffsailor Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Saturday, July 23, 2005 - 10:55 am:    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7338704610 Good Luck! js   Cmangeot Username: Cmangeot Registered: 04-2005 Posted on Saturday, July 23, 2005 - 5:32 pm:    Too much cash for that thing!!   Acetan Username: Acetan Registered: 09-2003 Posted on Saturday, July 23, 2005 - 10:16 pm:    Which year or years were these SC500's made? Do they have set necks? Just curious. Ace   Arney Username: Arney Registered: 10-2004 Posted on Saturday, July 23, 2005 - 11:19 pm:    I've never seen one of these before. If $600.00 is too much for this guitar, what is fair market value for it?   Acetan Username: Acetan Registered: 09-2003 Posted on Saturday, July 23, 2005 - 11:58 pm:    Found it in the back of the Ibanez book, it was made from 1998 to 1999.

I had also seen a SC500 and the seller wanted $600.00 for it then. I chose the Lonestar for its skinny neck. Works for me. Here's that link - it has a LOT of photos and info. http://www.uni-ulm.de/~s_opfaen/guitar/?guitar=sc500n   Acetan Username: Acetan Registered: 09-2003 Posted on Sunday, July 24, 2005 - 1:41 am:    Hi Mike, I have an LE450 nylon string thinline and love it too. How would you compare it against the SC500 if price is not a factor? Ace   Bigmike Username: Bigmike Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Sunday, July 24, 2005 - 12:21 pm:    I have not played the SC500 at all so could not make a good comparison on the differences between the two. I enjoy my LE450 but I use an LR BAGGS Direct DI eq box to augment the signal. I like the skinny neck of the LE450 and I think the neck on the SC500 is more of a classical width. Someone in the know please chime in on that.   Petruz Username: Petruz Registered: 05-2004 Posted on Tuesday, November 15, 2005 - 2:28 pm:    hi bgmk i just purchased an sc500n av. great looking and superbly finished axe. this guitar is an "electrical nylon" in all senses: a sabre equipped with nylon peghead and bridge. the bolt-on, scarfed, radiused neck is equal (i suppose) to that of a normal sabre: 1 11/16 at the nut (43mm), with a very low "c" profile; frets are small, though, similar to classical guitars. it has a very tight and dark rosewood fretboard. i found the output of this guitar to be rather loud and super sensitive (i had to mount nylon flatwounds to reduce finger hiss). tone can vary a lot tweaking the lows/highs of the active circuit. i'd like to compare it to the "a la mode" sadowsky nylon tele...   Petruz Username: Petruz Registered: 05-2004 Posted on Thursday, November 17, 2005 - 4:37 pm:    here's some photos of it.   Funkle Username: Funkle Registered: 12-2001 Posted on Thursday, November 17, 2005 - 7:18 pm:    Nice! Looks like you're having a feeding frenzy Petruz   Guitartim Username: Guitartim Registered: 04-2001 Posted on Friday, November 18, 2005 - 10:26 am:    A few years back I played an SC500NT in a little music store on Maui...love at first sight!! Very sweet playing instrument with excellent amplified tone. Reminded me of the Sadowsky model that Lee Ritenour plays. If it had a slightly larger neck, she would have returned to the mainland with me. Never noticed the scarfed neck before. Interesting.   Petruz Username: Petruz Registered: 05-2004 Posted on Friday, November 18, 2005 - 2:52 pm:    playing nylons with a 43mm-nut-necked guitar isn't easy, you got to get used to it. high tension strings help giving more of a steel feeling. on the other hand this slim neck is great for melody/solo work.
