I don't even see the word Japan on the neckplate! Ginger   Peterdryan Username: Peterdryan Registered: 6-2007 Posted on Sunday, July 29, 2007 - 10:32 am:    If you look closely at the headstock image, there appears to be some remains of script going up the right side. F? I? Can't tell.   Chucke99 Username: Chucke99 Registered: 2-2007 Posted on Sunday, July 29, 2007 - 2:05 pm:    Actually, I took a close look at the headstock photo and I think I can see the remains of the script "I". Since I've been looking for one of these EXACT GUITARS, I'm bidding. And, to the other bidders who may be ICW members, I'm prepared to go as high as $1978 for it, so you might as well not bid at all. (That last bit is a joke, of course.) -Chuck   Chucke99 Username: Chucke99 Registered: 2-2007 Posted on Sunday, July 29, 2007 - 2:16 pm:    I've been looking for a '70's "CBS" style headstock strat, sunburst with maple neck because that was the first guitar my late brother, Greg, bought when he was a teenager, back in 1976. Of course, his was a Fender, but I added that as one of my targets to reconstitute my old collection. A couple months ago I figured getting an Ibanez version of the same guitar would be great, since I could stay with the Ibanez theme AND get a guitar that was probably built as well as the CBS Strat, and probably for 1/4 the price (considering the Fenders go for about $1500-$2000 on the Bay). My other targets for the "reconstituted" collection are the 2387 Korina V, the 2630 Artist Semi-hollow, and a Gibson Grabber bass, which I'm going to replace with a 2452. -Chuck   Gemberbier Username: Gemberbier Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Sunday, July 29, 2007 - 3:05 pm:    I wouldn't be surprised if eBay would remove it because of keyword spamming: Fender AND Ibanez in the title and NO PROOF for either of them. I wonder how long this will last. And then it will be relisted and the whole circus starts all over again. Anyway, good luck, Ginger   Tbplayer Username: Tbplayer Registered: 4-2007 Posted on Monday, July 30, 2007 - 12:16 pm:    you know guys, that could be an Aria, with a script logo.   Chucke99 Username: Chucke99 Registered: 2-2007 Posted on Saturday, August 04, 2007 - 1:08 pm:    It got pulled, as Ginger predicted. -Chuck   Pitchpocket Username: Pitchpocket Registered: 12-2005 Posted on Saturday, August 04, 2007 - 11:25 pm:    If you're referring to a Challenger, I don't think it is one. The truss rod cover is not a feature of the Challenger model. I'm not sure what manufacturer this is.   Chucke99 Username: Chucke99 Registered: 2-2007 Posted on Sunday, August 05, 2007 - 12:01 am:    It's back. I compared what's left of the logo on that guitar to an actual Ibanez logo of the same time period and can't get them to match up. So I don't think it's an Ibanez.   Chucke99 Username: Chucke99 Registered: 2-2007 Posted on Sunday, August 05, 2007 - 12:05 am:    Ebay Item #280140503950 And the Bass (which is an Ibanez, or at least, the neck is): Ebay Item #280140505706
