noelk27 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Have an '85 FG100 in brown sunburst that I'm planning to sell, but, as these don't seem to come up for sale regularly, having trouble researching current value. The FG100 is pretty much the two pickup version of the Joe Pass model, except it has a maple top as opposed to the JP's spruce top. All original, in good overall condition. Don't have a period fitted case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I'd say you could price it from £800 - £1,200 depending on the condition. AFAIK the Ibanez AS cases will fit as will most of the Gibson cases as the dimensions were almost identical to some of their models. (That's essentially what stopped production on these).

Maybe I'm missing something with this particular model, as I just didn't think these would sell for as much here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 They might not. It's a fairly rare guitar in the UK and Ireland AFAIK. Gibson took offense to the design and production lasted about 2-3 years. I not sureofthe original price of these but they certainly weren't budget guitars unlike the newer Artcore models which range from a couple of hundred to over a grand.

noelk27 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Yes, first built by FujiGen in '81, the year after the Joe Pass signature model was introduced. Built by FujiGen until '86, and then built for up to three years by Terada. Certainly not a budget model, it was one of just two non signature "Jazz" models in the Ibanez catalogue. Guess I'd imagined that the GB and FA models were more collectable, and that the FG wasn't. Then again, mine is now a 27 year old FujiGen built Ibanez!
