Always wanted a 12 string, and stumbled across a really good condition V302 in black. Ordinarily i dont like black guitars coz they show up every chip and blemish more than any other colour, but beggers cant be choosers eh I've already got the strange Lonestar LE420 as you know, so i really broke the bank (my little bank) to get a beautiful LS340 in dark red. Cant find any info about the model anywhere. Sure Acetan will appreciate the pictures when i get them up. It plays like a dream. The third one, the Silver Cadet, was a cheap one off ebay. I figured if Ibanez lend their name to sth, it cant be too bad, and i liked the colour. It's intended as my cheap knock-about guitar, and it more than does the job.

Must be another european model, Ace.... SN says it's 1990, Japan. I too haven't found info on this anywhere. Acetan Username: Acetan Registered: 09-2003 Posted on Thursday, December 15, 2005 - 1:44 pm:    Beautiful color. It would make a great companion for my LE420TR. The Lonestars were great guitars that got neglected, what a shame. Ace Sibly Username: Sibly Registered: 05-2005 Posted on Friday, December 16, 2005 - 2:18 am:    I dont think that foto does it justice actually, specially in terms of the patterning. I have a sneaky feeling the Lonestars' time will come soon though. After all, there's at least two of us not neglecting them... ;) Acetan Username: Acetan Registered: 09-2003 Posted on Saturday, December 17, 2005 - 12:31 am:    Here's the new line-up of my LE's. Ace Sibly Username: Sibly Registered: 05-2005 Posted on Thursday, December 22, 2005 - 3:39 am:    A truly gorgeous foursome! Btw Ace... didnt know you also have a Höfner bass (me too...) Acetan Username: Acetan Registered: 09-2003 Posted on Saturday, December 24, 2005 - 10:36 am:    Yeah, got a '65 violin bass. What year's yours? Got a picture?

Sibly Username: Sibly Registered: 05-2005 Posted on Tuesday, December 27, 2005 - 4:31 am:    Hey Ace, Havent got a violin but i have a lovely 185 from the midsixties. I'm in the process of shooting all my guitars so will get some pics sorted soon, i promise! Hi Kwokwok, seen your posts about the V302 and posted on the thread. My black v302 is from 1980. As for price, well it depends on location like most things. The guys here can (already have..) indicate the average they fetch on ebay in the states. I paid considerably less for mine, so you're not always guaranteed what the guitar is worth, if you catch my drift. Acetan Username: Acetan Registered: 09-2003 Posted on Tuesday, December 27, 2005 - 1:13 pm:    Hofner 185, oh I remember those. I had a friend of mine's Hofner Galaxy for one summer back in 1965. I think it was the 6-string counter part to the 185. If my memory's correct, the Galaxy had "wrapped in vinyl" finish. Very interesting guitars. Ace Sibly Username: Sibly Registered: 05-2005 Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2005 - 12:51 pm:    Yeah, thats exactly what mine have got. Here's the guitars i mention in this thread... notice the v302 doesnt have any strings yet...
