Some info from you guys about this guitar more than welcome , i couldn't find nothing.

Sibly Username: Sibly Registered: 05-2005 Posted on Thursday, September 21, 2006 - 9:39 am:    The AE are lovely looking guitars, hence i'm after one myself. First i've heard of the AE700. This range is popping up with new model numbers all the time. Wouldnt mind hunting down the AE1000... a later model from 2003. AE700 looks great though. Are those pearloid tuners? Artfield Username: Artfield Registered: 04-2001 Posted on Thursday, September 21, 2006 - 10:39 am:    Sibly, Michael, i also never heard of a AE700, till had this one in my hands, yes the tuners are brownish pearl,. I was checking some of my Ibanez catalogs but no info about this model. The EQ which i thought was passive is actually Active i just discovered , the battery is inside the guitar, its a AEQ-III version...so removing the battery will take some time.

A lot of catalogs can be downloded from the site of the German distributor Roland Meinl: http://www.musik-meinl.de Then go to 'Service-Download' -> 'Katalog Archiv' -> 'Ibanez Gitarren' Since the scan is pretty small, here are the specs of the AE700: Top: Spruce (laminated) Sides & Back: Ovankole Fretboard: Rosewood Neck: 1pc Mahogany Bridge: Rosewood Tuners: Die-Cast Gold EQ: AEQ-III Finish: NT (matte) The specs of the AE900S explicitly state 'Solid Spruce' for the Top so it is very likely that the Top of the AE700 is laminated. Juergen Artfield Username: Artfield Registered: 04-2001 Posted on Thursday, September 21, 2006 - 11:58 am:    Yogi / Juergen , thanks for solving this little mistery, very impressive this AE700...concerning the top i think too its laminated otherwise they had stated solid as they did with the AE900S , isn't that the acoustic Paul Gilbert was using lot ? That one is just super....who ownes one on this board ? pics please... I never saw one, the AE800 blue is also very nice..and if somebody has a AE600N (the classical version)for sale just let me know. i just cleaned the guitar and put a new set of strings on it...its great and the neck is something else..wow great guitar. Thanks for the tip of these scans. Sibly Username: Sibly Registered: 05-2005 Posted on Friday, September 22, 2006 - 2:29 am:    Yogi, SUPERB link! Can you believe i didnt know about this place...
