Where are you in Aus? I'm in WA.   Aaron Username: Aaron Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Sunday, November 05, 2006 - 2:40 am:    Hi Bluesmeister, All the guitars are located on Melbourne. Cheers!!!   Gemberbier Username: Gemberbier Registered: 05-2006 Posted on Sunday, November 05, 2006 - 8:43 am:    Really nice collection, Aaron. I recognized the '77 2355m (same as my '76). I think the wood of the AM205 should be described as Burled Mahogany, as far as I know the specs. This means that it sounds warmer than the maple AM50. I read somewhere about a AS200 that had the jack input on the side. Was that yours? And if so, how did this happen? How does it look now, on the front and on the side? What are you going to keep as playing instrument(s)? The Howard Roberts Fusion?

My curiousity, are you selling all your guitars? If not,what are your favorite guitars that you will continue to use. thanks. John calif.   Guitartim Username: Guitartim Registered: 04-2001 Posted on Monday, November 06, 2006 - 10:15 am:    Aaron~ I noticed you did not list your Gibson Johnny A. Signature for sale! Are those the greatest or what?!   Bluesmeister Username: Bluesmeister Registered: 05-2004 Posted on Tuesday, November 07, 2006 - 1:25 am:    Aaron, do you want me to contact you off line regarding the AM205? I hope the rest of the gentlemen at ICW give me first refusal on this baby!   Jimmys Username: Jimmys Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Tuesday, November 07, 2006 - 8:18 am:    So can I have second right of refusal?? Aaron, I sent you a couple of e-mails also. Bluesmeister (Hi Mr F. ) is obviously ahead of me (and others may be also?) on the AM205 but you have so much great stuff to choose from that I am still keen to have a chat. Sometimes I wish this GAS thing would just go away! Thanks, James   Aaron Username: Aaron Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Tuesday, November 07, 2006 - 9:35 am:    Thanks for the interest in the guitars guys. There's been such an amazing amount of interest!!!! Will answer all emails ASAP. Cheers!   Aaron Username: Aaron Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Friday, November 10, 2006 - 8:55 am:    A big thanks to everyone interested in the guitars. If I didn't get back to you many apologies as I've been swamped with 100's of emails. The guitars have all been sold to an avid collector of Ibanez guitars who already owns 72 guitars so they've gone to a great home! Thanks Again!!!!!   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Friday, November 10, 2006 - 1:14 pm:    Aaron: You sold the whole lot to ONE collector? What a deal! Is he an Aussie, too? Well, I'm happy for you and the "collector". How did you get your hands on so many "mint" guitars?   Aaron Username: Aaron Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Saturday, November 11, 2006 - 1:33 am:    Hi John, All the guitars except the Johnny Smith and GB10 I've had since new....some nearing 30 years young. The collector is an Australian living in Japan permanently who wishes to remain anonymous. I find it a real irony that the guitars are going back to their birthplace!!!! I've really settled on three electric guitars that I love and suit my purposes perfectly. A Blonde Gibson Custom HR Fusion 82 Ar5000 Ibanez and a Fender strat with noiseless pu's. As I'm sure many of you know guitars take up a lot of space and looking after. I think they're about to go to a great home. Thanks for your help.   Gemberbier Username: Gemberbier Registered: 05-2006 Posted on Saturday, November 11, 2006 - 4:07 pm:    Did you read that? Another AR5000 located! among us since January 2004! Ginger   Fox Username: Fox Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Saturday, November 11, 2006 - 8:32 pm:    Ginger, not so new info, Aarons AR5000 has been "old news" for quite a while..   Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Sunday, November 12, 2006 - 6:28 pm:    Great deal Aaron... well done. six   Bobzilla Username: Bobzilla Registered: 02-2005 Posted on Monday, November 13, 2006 - 12:08 pm:    Aaron, can you post a shot of your ar5000?
