Hello Ibanezomaniacs!

I have an AS80 that I will be putting on ebay within the week. I picked it up in a local classified, and am not much of a guitar buff, much less an Ibanez buff. I've read a bunch of messages on this board about misleading (or just plain incorrect) ebay posts. Below is the text I plan to put in my listing. I was hoping you guys could check it and make sure I'm not lying or exaggerating. I want to do this guitar justice, but do not want to be misleading. Also, let me know if there are key features I am leaving out that guitar shoppers would want to know.

Ibanez Artstar AS-80
Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar


This is a beautiful guitar, made in 2002. Vintage burst, maple body and neck, rosewood fretboard. Semi-Hollow design and quality pickups produces a nice clean, full tone. Features include two Super 58 Humbucker pickups, 2 volume knobs, 2 tone knobs, three-way pickup switch. The AS80 is a well-known, quality copy of the Gibson ES335. Includes hard case.

Condition: 9/10 - Some minor surface scratches, noticeable only on close inspection. Missing the truss rod cover (small plastic piece on the head, just above the frets)

Serial #: 2040134 (year: 2002)
Made in Korea

"I'm a total professional, and I can tell you honestly that this guitar blows away my two Gibsons...and at about 1/10th the price! I used to be a Gibson snob...but now I'm a devout Ibanez snob. My AS80 made a believer out of me. It's an incredible value...AND a joy to play!" -User Review from Harmony Central.com (check out all reviews at their AS-80 page)

Buyer pays all shipping costs. Email for shipping quote.


I am also new to ebay, so is there something else business-related I should include?

Also if anybody is interested in this guitar, I've posted it pre-ebay on the IBW classifieds here: http://www.ibanezcollectors.com/discus/messages/21/14584.html?1138673750

Thanks for your help!

Okay, I'm about to go ahead and put this on eBay. Just one thing: serial number 2040134 is a 2002 model right?
