AS103NT, AMB: 548 EUR

It is strange that Playback-Europe's customer service doesn't reply emails. I and a friend have asked whether they have AM103BM-ABR or AS103BM-ABR for sale. We both are interested in AM103.

Edit: Other European web stores seem to have same prices as before except Musik Produktiv has ARX500 for 510 EUR (to some countries?) and AS103AMB at a lower price than before.

Juha,

If you are interested in the pictured guitar: That is NOT an AM103BM, but an AS103BM. They used the wrong picture!

I know. Also the specs are those of AS103BM at Playback-Europe. Playback has appr 130 EUR lower price than Musik Schmidt.

Looks like Musik Scmidt has sold them (AM103) out (click the picture for magnified pictures).

Now I know where one AM103 from Musik Scmidt has gone. 

I got an email message from an unknown address this morning telling I will get a Christmas present today or tomorrow but must not open it before Christmas, signed by Santa Claus. At first I thought it was spam but after a couple of hours UPS deliveryman was at my door with a big parcel sent by Musik Schmidt.

I made a phone call to Santa Claus (so called) and he said: "OK, because you have been a good boy you may open it now".

Now I am waiting the parcel to warm up before opening it, it is winter here and it had traveled in a cold trunk of a UPS van. It is better to let a guitar warm up slowly to avoid possible damages.

I'll be back with a new thread

Juha, when you next talk to Santa, please let him know I've also been a good boy this year.

I am afraid this "Santa" expects to get an Ibanez in return, perhaps ARC/T/X500. 

BTW, I bought an ARX500 before I heard this AM103 is on its way. Got yesterday an email from Musik Produktiv: Your order has been sent.

My AM103 can be seen at

Wow. There certainly do seem to be a lot of nice Ibbys popping up in Europe lately. It's a bummer there aren't more in the US that aren't hacked up in some way.

I started this thread and it was about new Ibanez semihollows and their prices in European web stores.

Vintage and younger used Ibanez (high end) semihollows in good condition tend to be much more expensive here in Europe than they are in USA. In many cases they cost the same amount of Euros (or even more) here as they cost dollars in USA, even when EUR was 1.5 USD.
