I'm trying to zero-in on exactly what model it was in hopes to find and buy one. I was first told it was a Musician, but it seems now that it was an Artist -- perhaps a 2700 series? But if so, which one? Anyhow, I would SO appreciate any help any of you might give me in nailing this one down. Thanks! Here is a photo that I took in late 1979/early 1980:   Captainibanez Username: Captainibanez Registered: 1-2004 Posted on Tuesday, July 10, 2007 - 8:07 am:    Paradoxology, your guitar is a Ibanez model 2710. As the catalogue reads..."The first distinguishing feature of this model is the striking laminated construction of maple and a variety of exotic hardwoods including Zebra and Ash. In addition to the beauty and the contrast of the select rare woods,this guitar offers distinct performance advantages over other guitars.The neck is laminated with 7 select piece of maple and walnut and runs the complete length of the instrument, from endpin to the top of the headstock.The pickups are the newly developed Super 88's which are as hot as the hottest, but with true high fidelity" Hope this ends a saga for you, sorry you had to let it go Captain Ibanez   Careycorson Username: Careycorson Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Tuesday, July 10, 2007 - 8:30 pm:    A similar one recently sold on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=0 10&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=2001 23406731&rd=1&rd=1   Dave_g Username: Dave_g Registered: 1-2002 Posted on Tuesday, July 10, 2007 - 11:51 pm:    The one that sold on EBay was a model #2700 with the on board EQ ....great buy at a grand !   Paradoxology Username: Paradoxology Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Thursday, July 12, 2007 - 10:15 am:    Captainibanez -- thanks for solving this one for me. Careycorson -- I really appreciated the eBay link. $1000, hmmm. I guess I'd better start saving now for the next one that comes along. :D I'm wondering... were there specific model numbers issued within the 2700 range, to account for differences such as those between the one I once had and the obviously enhanced version which recently sold on eBay? Anyway, thanks for the help!   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 2-2001 Posted on Thursday, July 12, 2007 - 1:41 pm:    Paradoxology: The Artist Custom series consisted of 2 models: 2700, with a 3-band EQ (like the one in the ebay auction.) 2710, no EQ (like your's)   Paradoxology Username: Paradoxology Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Monday, July 16, 2007 - 9:04 pm:    Johns, Woohoo! Thanks so much! Sorry for not responding sooner, my son got married over the weekend and I'm finally getting caught up. Hopefully, I can pick up a well-kept one of these in the coming year or so. Thanks again.
