I went straight to my old mate J.D.(Jim Donohue)& picked his brain along with some very clear photographs of the guitar in question, now J.D.told me these were built between 1938-1949, so the debate is what would you think these pieces of history, that is well before our beloved law suite models etc. etc, would be worth in good condition for it's age ?.Please note, that this guitar had a green mother of pearl overlay on the fingerboard(pretty advanced for that time frame).The floor is open for your input. Keep on rockin' Cameron Berthold Gitfiddle1 (Gitfiddle1) Posted on Friday, March 08, 2002 - 3:02 pm:    I believe these would be the products from the company Hoshino purchased. Didn't Hoshino aquire a spanish guitar makers company so they could use the Ibanez name? I 'spose this would compare to a new "Chrysler" Jeep as compared to an original "Willys" Jeep. So the next question is; Are these "Salvador" Ibanez guitars, or "Hoshino" Ibanez guitars? Cheers Steve Cameron (Cameron) Posted on Saturday, March 09, 2002 - 5:12 am:    Steve, I have the photos of these at the office.I will bring them home on monday scan them and send them to you.I'm not sure how to post pics on ICW. Cameron Johns (Johns) Posted on Tuesday, March 11, 2003 - 12:22 pm:    I've always wondered about Hoshino's history with these guitars. Here's a link to Hoshino Gakki Group's own site that takes credit for the Salvador line, since 1929. Too bad there's no info on the timeline from '29 to '70. http://www.hoshinogakki.co.jp/hoshino_e/history/history01.html
