I just bought this one on ebay. I should see it next week.

I couldn't find much info on these here or otherwise but couldn't resist.

Does anyone here have any experience with this model?

Thanks ... Rick

bondscoll, that's a pretty rare guitar made in the late 80's.
i'm searching for info too, seems that it was an ibanez attempt to make a gretsch-like "rockabilly" guitar, as the rare AF220 too.
if you can post some pictures when you receive... it would be great. i searched the web but was not able to know if it's a hollow or a semi-hollow,
nor where were these guitars made (japan, korea).
original pickups should be the "hot" super 70s.

Didn't I post a link to a catalogue with an AC50 pic somewhere? It's an Artstar from the end of the 80's. Super 70's are unlikely. I guess it has Super 58's.

Wooah, you got it for $250.-? That's a bargain!
Don't be fooled by the two pickup screws. Super 58's exist with 3 and 2 screws.

I found this catalog scan. Another search says it's a full hollowbody.

$250 seemed like a great buy, especially including shipping.

I'll keep you posted.

The guitar arrived yesterday! I am pleasantly surprised. The guitar is very clean and plays great! For those that asked it is Made in Japan.

I'll post pics and more comments as I get better acquainted with it.

Of course it's made in Japan:
H907411 is a Terada serial number (1989).

I played this for an hour last night. I really like the guitar. It has a great hollowbody rock/blues sound.

I wasn't sure what to expect, jazzy or rock sound. It came set up with light strings. I got a nice clean chorus sound as well as a heavy rock sound with no problem.

I think I'll keep her!
