For Sale: Ibanez AM73B - Pre eBay PRICE DROP

[Paul S]

In a rush of blood I bought this from a fellow band member when he bought a Gibson Les Paul Studio and decided to move it on. It has sat here doing nowt ever since. Daft really, as I rarely pick up a guitar and, when I do, use one of my JapCrap models so I thought I'd sell it on. And, well, you know, maybe buy another bass....

[url="http://www.ibanez.com/HollowBodyGuitars/model-AM73B"]Here is a link [/url] to the Ibanez webpage about them and here is an image nicked from the site:



Anyway, this is pretty well spotless. It looks and plays like a dream - nice low action and a fast neck. Sound-wise it does a lot of things but mainly it is like a Gibson 335 - it overdrives nicely and sounds really meaty when pushed. Nice sexy cool looking guitar for someone who wants something a little different from the herd.

I think production of this model has stopped but Reidy's have them still for £269. This one comes with a fitted Gator hardcase that is a bit like the Gibson Les Paul ones. Can't find the exact model but it must have cost over £50.

Actual pics to follow.

Very slight buckle rash, a little marking on the headstock and a slight scuff on the f hole (ooh matron etc...)

Bump for a ridiculous price drop - I really do want shot of this. A very good quality instrument, very rock and roll yet different to your average axe. It can sound bluesy but also distorts and overdrives for hard rock sounds. Sustains for ever.

£150 collected, £170 posted.

I am away for a week as of the crack of dawn Monday, BTW.

A return from holiday type bump. I am almost giving this away!

[Paul S]

And a rescue from page 3 type bump.

Serious bit of kit here for next to no money.

[mickwwarwick]

It looks nice, how does it sound?

Is it still available?

[Paul S]

Hi Mick

Yes, still available. Sounds - a bit like a Gibson 335. More like a Gibson 335 than you'd expect for the money, anyway! Good sustain - great sound for blues and, when pushed, rock. Not really a jazzy hollow body. You can select neck/bridge/both pups with volume and tone for each pup, too. You are welcome to come a try it.

If your looking in these are an extremely well built instrument that just require a pickup upgrade to make peferfect..I suggest SD antiquities,,,,and for around £250 all in you have a great guitar that will give a 330 a run for its money...
Unfortunately for the seller I already have one


Buy it Now

[Paul S]

Thanks for the endorsement, tino. Yes, it is a good guitar for sure. Sexy beast in the flesh, too.

I've had a few offers of trades for various things - just a mention that I am not really in the market for any instruments.

But I have a list of stuff I am considering buying so would welcome trades with cash either way depending, for:
- Zoom H2, H4 or Q3
- John East P-Retro
- a hot P-type pickup or two.
- Hipshot GB7 in chrome
- Hipshot BT10 in chrome (assuming that is the one for a Jaguar bass)

Probably worth mentioning just in case.

[merello]

Bump cos I like this.

[Paul S]

Yes, me too (and thanks for the bump!) - but I need to get rid of it. One more little price dropette before I am forced to stick it on eBay!

[DanOwens]

Hey man.

If I sell [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=110182"]this trumpet[/url] I'll be interested in buying the guitar.

[hagguy]

are you interested in trades? always fancied a 335 and I know how good ibanez stuff is but not much cash to spare

[waynepunkdude]

HOW MUCH!!!! Jesus that's a bargain.

[Paul S]

Yup, absolute bargain - great quality bit of kit for secondhand Squier money! I am making a slight loss on it and bought it at mate's rates in the first place but, well, I want to shift it really. Anyway, now on hold pending the usual.

[Martmartmart]

Hi, is this still available? Very interested.
Cheers
