Hi Greg

this one is not right one. Jimmy plays a 1830/1880 Model, this one is a 2 or 3 years later production of a unkown ibanez model (i call them the 9xx)

Nice lady, i dont need her, got two of this series here in my museum

Take care

Hasy

You are correct,but the body shape and style is the same,Greg.

hi first time i have been on line not sure if what to do i have a 1830 series 2 ibanez in mint condition and in original  box marked 1242 do you know if this is a valuable piece thanks i love your white guitar

I think that we should not mystify this "Jimi" axe too much.
It is not the guitar that made Jimi sound the way we know.
And then only the one Jimi owned is really "valuable".

An example:
George Harrison's first guitar was a Rosetti, made by the Dutch Egmond factory in the Eindhoven area. This particular guitar was auctioned for $500,000.- and it is one of the most expensive rock star relics around.
But that Rosetti model in general sucks. It was just all George could afford (then).

So, this is just a 1960s Ibanez axe, no more, no less (unless you have papers that proof that Jimi actually owned your axe of course. Then the price may explode in a way that you can buy a house with the money).

Well I never stated that this was Jimi's axe,just that the style and era as well as body shape bore a sweet resemblance,Jealousy.what a drag.......

Greg,

How you doing bro? I see youre showing off that old odd ibe I sold you....man I miss that guitar!! I have her twin sisters a 981 single pickup and a 982 two pickup model. Ive only seen one other of those, and it was already sold. It was down in Ocala Florida where my older daughter is a sherriffs deputy. Hope youre doing great..the pictures of the guitar look great. Ive collected like a ton of old ibanez since we talked last...hope youre enjoying the heck out of her! Bill

On an entirely tangential subject, did anyone else notice the dead giveaway in one of the photos of where that guitar is located? 

[gregsguitars]

Actually that is not where she is located , just "another" one of my favorites,Greg.http://www.gregsguitars.net

The first two photos were not your guitar?

[backer60]

Hey Greg. Its Bill from Virginia. No doubt, she was beautiful when I sold her to you, and she still is. Here are some pics of the "Jimi" guitar from my collection. Obviously not the one played by him{he's lucky he had like size 14 hands, or he would've quit playing this baseball bat}, but the same model pictured on the web site. It has a set neck, mots markers, raised{Im guessing} aluminum picguard, two small stickers on back of headstock, one says 1860, the other says Made In Japan. I believe the case is original too...like green plastic-Bill

[backer60]

Heres two more shots of the body and headstock/neck. I'll get the hang of this camera someday....LOL! Bill

[gregsguitars]

Yes all the pics are my guitar , if your referring to the Shiner bottle as in Shiner Texas, that is not where she is located. Greg.
