It is a heavily modded AF120 (as Petruz suspected). I can't imagine it being worth more than $400-500.00...as a player. Here's a picture of the AF120 from the 1996 catalog. Except for the mods, it's an exact match:   Jonnie73 Username: Jonnie73 Registered: 9-2006 Posted on Thursday, December 06, 2007 - 1:53 pm:    I Asked a few questions about this one as I thought that it maybe an AF120. As the tail piece is consistent with that model, also the rosewood fret board although I am aware that there were some AF200 that used rosewood. Apparently there is no sticker inside but the previous owner believed the Serial Was H123615. Terada 91 feb right? but as I say no sticker or headstock number, Oh and the control on the cutaway is a master volume. I saw an AF120 go for £325 in good condition all original so I suspect that with the mods and no sticker or decals that its not quite worth the asking price.   Artfield Username: Artfield Registered: 4-2001 Posted on Thursday, December 06, 2007 - 4:56 pm:    Thanks guys everything clear, the Ibanez Inspectors did the job...
