Dammit.[/quote] Perhaps he was concerned that without a BIN, he wouldn't actually be able to sell them all for as much less than they're worth as he wanted to. That's £22.72 per guitar. So, pretty much £22 for 22 guitars. Maybe he's into numerology. Now we can have fun watching out for them reappearing on ebay. And tracking how much they all sold for.

Could have been worth the BIN on it''s own.[/quote] Not a Gibson - random JapCrap with a sticker. Probably £150's worth, all the same. Also 3 decent MIJ LP copies, the Jedson (early Matsumoku build) and Columbus LP Standard are very nice & probably around the £200 mark with a good sales pitch. Looking at the whole lot - that's easily £1500 worth of firewood there, and that's a very, very conservative estimate. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're often quite derivative of Ibanez original designs (Blazer copies are quite common) although the ones I've seen aren't Fujigen - or Matsumoku for that matter. This one certainly has an Ibby look - particularly the headstock & trc. Looks quite tidy but I'd want a better look than those pics before I'd drop £150+ on it. Being neck-through & stripy doesn't make it a Matsumoku. I wonder if Ebay thickies will ever work that out? J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
