I bought this brand new in December of 1982, but always seemed to be in a band where this wasn't quite the right guitar. The guitar is in excellent condition, a minor chip on the top of the headstock, visible in one of the photos, but that's it. This has all of the original gold hardware, the pearl inlay, and all of the electronics work. I'm really torn about selling, but I've got one too many guitars. $1400.00   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Wednesday, January 04, 2006 - 6:25 pm:    Try uploading the pics again please. mk   Nonuniform Username: Nonuniform Registered: 01-2006 Posted on Wednesday, January 04, 2006 - 6:26 pm:    Had to crunch a couple of the pics down. Looks like they are all there now.   Tubescorcher Username: Tubescorcher Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Thursday, January 05, 2006 - 7:36 am:    Do you mean Dec. of 83'? The guitar was made Sept. of 82'.   Guitartim Username: Guitartim Registered: 04-2001 Posted on Thursday, January 05, 2006 - 12:01 pm:    Nonuniform, very nice AM205! You should have no problem selling that beauty. (If she were a pony in my stable, she'd never leave!)   Nonuniform Username: Nonuniform Registered: 01-2006 Posted on Thursday, January 05, 2006 - 3:34 pm:    No, I meant December of 82. That's when I got it. Not sure what you mean. I've kept it around for so long, but really I barely play it. At this point it's sentimental really, as this guitar and my Leica are the only things I've ever really kept. I'm also thinking about selling my DeArmond Starfire III. But, that's for another forum!   Davejacobs Username: Davejacobs Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Thursday, January 05, 2006 - 5:31 pm:    Nonuniform, very nice indeed. It seems that the third string's tuning machine, or at least the knob, has been exchanged. It that correct? Dave.   Artfield Username: Artfield Registered: 04-2001 Posted on Thursday, January 05, 2006 - 7:08 pm:    its a Beauty !!!!! these models are just great, very good sound and the perfect size.   Jeffsailor Username: Jeffsailor Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Thursday, January 05, 2006 - 10:00 pm:    Couldn't you dust it off before you took the pictures???   Nonuniform Username: Nonuniform Registered: 01-2006 Posted on Friday, January 06, 2006 - 1:42 am:    Yes, I forgot, I did have to replace a tuning machine ages ago, probably sometime around 90-91. I lost the original unfortunately. Well, yes, the photos would have been better if the guitar were cleaner. <sigh> We're in the process of moving to Seattle from San Francisco, and I decided seconds before leaving to drive back to Seattle that I was going to sell the Ibanez. I find it's better to make split second decisions...not. So, I took a bunch of very rushed photos. The guitar is back at our house in SF, ready to be shipped by remaining family there. And there you have it. Strats and Jazzmaster made the trip in a very packed car, along with a few random amps, and the Ibanez stayed home.   Nonuniform Username: Nonuniform Registered: 01-2006 Posted on Saturday, January 07, 2006 - 5:27 pm:    It's on eBay now. http://www.qksrv.net/click-1802666-10381315?loc=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI .dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D7380540277   Johnm Username: Johnm Registered: 08-2001 Posted on Sunday, January 08, 2006 - 5:15 pm:    Wow, that looks like a quick sale.   Nonuniform Username: Nonuniform Registered: 01-2006 Posted on Sunday, January 08, 2006 - 10:46 pm:    Yeah, it was up there for just a few hours. Of course, I haven't actually received payment yet, but I've had good experiences buying and selling on eBay.   Shel Username: Shel Registered: 03-2003 Posted on Monday, January 09, 2006 - 3:43 pm:    I bought it-a bit of an impulse buy-I hope I didn't spend too much! I love my am255 and the 205 was just too nice to pass up. Anybody got a scruggs for sale out there?   Davejacobs Username: Davejacobs Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Monday, January 09, 2006 - 6:44 pm:    Congratulations! Isn't this a Scruggs? http://www.qksrv.net/click-1802666-10381315?loc=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI .dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D7380329691   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Monday, January 09, 2006 - 11:34 pm:    Dave: Yes, but it has a dot neck that has not been seen before.
