Like since 1979 when I didn't buy the one I had in my hands for ten minutes... Ibanez or Antoria, Korina or Korina finish, any condition. Can anyone help? Thanks   Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Wednesday, February 08, 2006 - 4:56 am:    Hi Hackney, You must be in the UK with a handle like that. Re the Explorer (or Destroyer as Ibanez called it) They do come up on ebay every now and then. You just need to keep you eyes peeled. Save a ebay search in your favourites and look everyday for stuff that you are interested in. That's what I do and it kind of works. You will probably see one in the States so you might have to beg the seller to ship. Keep em peeled six   Hackneyslim Username: Hackneyslim Registered: 02-2006 Posted on Wednesday, February 08, 2006 - 12:13 pm:    Hi 6 Yeah, the very next day, one pops up on e-bay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7389021124&rd=1&sspagename=ST RK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 May I draw your attention to the price? Would you agree that is a tad, how shall I put it, steep? I used to live in Hackney, and, yes, I used to be slim, too. Now I live in Greece and the Guiness has caught up with me. That would make me Athens Fats, I suppose?   Strat78 Username: Strat78 Registered: 05-2005 Posted on Wednesday, February 08, 2006 - 7:15 pm:    Actually this guitar looks pretty good except for the four holes drilled in the back and the non-stock harmonica bridge. Ask the seller more questions: any fractures at the neck joint or headstock area, are the pickups Super 70's, truss rod works? I have two of these power house guitars and would gladly give this seller the buy-it-now price but personally i am looking for a beat up Destroyer at this point.   Hackneyslim Username: Hackneyslim Registered: 02-2006 Posted on Thursday, February 09, 2006 - 6:20 am:    Ended early with a buy-it-now at 1400 euro. Am I being a bit slow here, or is this the going price? I was thinking substantially less...80's Gibsons are under a grand, etc So how valuable does that make my 1974 Antoria Les Paul Custom?   Hackneyslim Username: Hackneyslim Registered: 02-2006 Posted on Thursday, February 09, 2006 - 6:35 am:    Strat I'm sure you saw these already... http://cgi.ebay.com/83-Ibanez-X-Series-Destroyer-Explorer-Orig-HSCASE-MIJ_W0QQit emZ7388450877QQcategoryZ33043QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/80s-IBANEZ-EXPLORER-DESTROYER_W0QQitemZ3754722883QQcategoryZ 33043QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Luck
