This may be a cool catalog to have, but over $200.00?

Wow...thats a lot of cabbage. I am just as happy with all the vintage catalogs in .pdf form. Too easy to print out which one you want
too.

the only problem with the ones online is that the resolution had to be cut down from infinity to what could be posted and downloaded, so a lot is lost. there is no substitution for the real thing.

It depends on the depth of ones pockets and its intended use.

For me... insane!

For Orval... a good, hi-res source for his website is probably worth it.

the photos on www.mr-ibanez.com are photos of actual guitars from the collection. the photos of the catalogs for sale are just that.

posting of catalog scans on the internet is a violation of copyright laws

Yeap, seems like there is copyright infringment everywhere you look on the internet.

I don't think it will ever stop until there are cyber cops that are effective.

So what's so valuable about this particular catalog? I can see paying big bucks for a rare older catalog. But this one doesn't fit that description. Is it because of the AR5000? According to the bid history, Orval felt it was worth less than $25.00.

Hi John,

Thanks for the smiles mate, but alas, I think I need them in person. Oh, and if you can get me a hot cup of coffee delivered delivered right after the second solo in my last song of the third bracket at my next gig, the catalog is yours!!!!!!!!

Cheers,

Mark
