I'd say you got a great deal.   Brucifer Username: Brucifer Registered: 9-2007 Posted on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 8:50 pm:    Cool, i should have it in a couple days can't wait! thanks Chaz..   Brucifer Username: Brucifer Registered: 9-2007 Posted on Friday, September 07, 2007 - 6:18 pm:    ok, i got it yesterday, condition is great for a 1982 guitar.. it has a slight "belly" which concerned me at first.. but it played decent right out of the fed ex box.. changed the strings today sanded a bit of the bridge nut adjusted the neck slightly tunned it to DADGAD, and now im in heaven.. by far the best value out of a guitar i have ever had. i realy cant beleive a guitar can play and sound this good for $110 the concern i have now is the belly.. will it get worse? should i detune it after playing it? will this help? should i worry, or just play it and hope for the best?   Chazmo Username: Chazmo Registered: 3-2007 Posted on Saturday, September 08, 2007 - 5:45 pm:    Just keep an eye on it brucifer... Make sure the guitar is properly humidified, and play the crap out of it, man. DADGAD tuning will relieve a little tension on the bridge, and I recommend light gauge strings as well to keep stress to a minimum. Ibanez acoustics, especially the vintage ones, remain a great bargain. Ya done good. The only concern I have about these early '80s guitars is their sticky truss rods in the mahogany necks. Again, just keep an eye on it, Brucifer.
