This time it's an '83 AR1505AV. It features a spruce top, brazilian rosewood fretboard and Super 58 Jazz pups. Ebay Item #120126878256 As usual, the price of admission to the very exclusive AR1505 club is steep.   Guitartim Username: Guitartim Registered: 4-2001 Posted on Tuesday, June 05, 2007 - 10:18 am:    Yes, the price is steep...but any comparable Brazilian Rosewood, handmade solidbody in excellent would probably go for double the amount. That is a very nice AR1505!! I'm surprised the seller listed a BIN rather than a high reserve. Let's see how fast it sells.   Texasbob Username: Texasbob Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Tuesday, June 05, 2007 - 10:54 am:    nice. maybe somemore overtime is in order!!!!!!   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 2-2001 Posted on Tuesday, June 05, 2007 - 11:16 am:    I have a sneaky suspicion that I've held this guitar (and the AR1500 that's currently for auction) in my grubby hands. It was a few years ago, but I can't imagine that this combo of rare guitars would be duplicated in the state of NJ.   Redscuderia Username: Redscuderia Registered: 4-2006 Posted on Tuesday, June 05, 2007 - 7:04 pm:    I am VERY happy to say the AR1500CS has found a great new home, in the United States, with a collector of Ibanez guitars. He has told me he is also a member of this forum. I believe he has a very nice, extensive collection of Artist series guitars. Believe it or not, it makes a difference to me where these guitars end up. More to life then money, you know. Johns--I am thinking you have held both these AR's. I didn't see any "Grubby Hand" prints on the neck, though. I have just made the AR-1505AV auction a BEST OFFER listing. I really do not want to see this one go, so like is said above--the price of admission is high. I do not HAVE to sell it. If it doesnt sell, I might just keep it for my daughters 18th birthday (she just turned 2) and perhaps she can buy a Corvette with the sale.   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Thursday, June 07, 2007 - 9:38 pm:    Here's another one!

I have never seen one with gold pickup rings. I have one in player plus condition that was the subject of a thread here a couple years ago by the previous owner. They are really nice axes! Rick
