Sure looks like this AM50 is in good shape. I think if I had enough in my pocket to buy-it-now, I would. It's a little high but looks super-duper clean. What do you think?

Except for the Grover tuners, it looks very nice, indeed. |

Just to clarify: there are not Super 70 pups. They are 58's.
Also, look very carefully at the back. Are those three scratches I see or is it just the picture.
I have an AM-50 in excellent condition too. Nice guitar!

I think $1050 seems really high for an AM50.
What's up with those grover tuners? In '83 Ibanez would have been using Gotoh Smooth tuners, with the offset screw. Yet it appears this guitar has inline drillings like you'd see on a pre '81 Artist with Velve tuners. |

There was a mint AM50 which went for a little more earlier this year (maybe around $1,200)? I was surprised, but it was in great shape.

Those pups (or the surrounds) aren't orignal. Take a look at the extra height adjustment holes in the surrounds. So maybe someone stuck 70s in it?
