Happy Jack Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 ... this isn't really what I have in mind. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ibanez-MC500-Arch-top-1979/182995037908?hash=item2a9b5aaed4:g:cpsAAOSwEaBaS9iA I know it's a guitar, and maybe it's just me, but that seems like a helluva lot for a 70s Japanese guitar.

binky_bass Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) It's the riveting description that adds the extra £3000 in value Edited January 5, 2018 by binky_bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Got to admit, it is a bit of a looker.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Lovely old thing but not exactly immaculate. It's a high-end early Ibby Musician, looks to be in good, original order - although that red-tipped switch might have been changed. It's a rare guitar but I'd be very surprised if a realistic price would be more than £1000. I had an MC150 (passive, a bit more modest but same basic build) and sold it on for a massive £150! Will be watching this with interest in case of the unlikely eventuality that it sells - I have a set of those pearl-top Velve-Tune tuners and calculating from the asking price of this, they're worth about £400. Arch-top? Silly boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Carved top would be the correct description Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
