My local dealer (USA Washington State) has one in stock. I played it and it is sweet. They wanted $1100 for it though.

Wow, love the grain and color! Isn't the price pretty steep though compared to the other Artcores?

Yup, I have seen the blondie... But I prefer the darker wood  I wonder why the $1,000 price tag if it lists for $900? |

If I remember correctly they only had it discounted $100 off MSRP. I think normally most are marked at 20-25% off MSRP. With only 60 of them for the USA market they were thinking they could get a premium. Wait a couple months and if it hasn't moved they will drop the price. My son got his AS103BM from them for $650! Regular AS103's sell new for $730.

Got my AK105 and am loving it! Here's pics: http://picasaweb.google.com/jazzgeetar/IbanezAK105#One of the first things I had to do was set it up with new strings. It came with roundwound 9s or 10s and I restrung it with flatwound 12s. It's easy and comfortable to play and sounds sweet! The neck is fantastic, body is beautiful and the wooden (rosewood) around the pickups and volume/tone knobs is a nice touch. I can get a nice, fat jazz tone with it...kinda going for that electric Joe Pass tone. |

Jazzgeetar,
Contratulations...nice axe! I especially like the binding (maple?). Enjoy your new guitar!
