Can you identify this Ibby and us it worth $475?

[Elias Graves]

A kid my son knows is selling it. I've only seen the pic. Not sure what model it is. Look familiar?

 

[Peeker]

not familiar, but for $475, I'd have a go.

I've never been known to be smart, though, so bear that in mind

 

[Elias Graves]

Looks like an AF75 but has abalone inlays and the pinstriping over glitter finish.

 

[Peeker]

I'd go on it
lose the guard though

Check the model number on the label inside the left f-hole. That will let you know if this is one of the cheap artcore models or one of the better ones with the nice electronics worth paying $475 for.

I am guessing by the inlays that is is a mid- to slightly-upper-level AF. Might be worth the asking price.

@Elias Graves

EDIT: here you go, and he's probably shooting slightly high on the price:

Here's a nice CAR one w/case for $375:

Yep, that's an Artcore AFS75. It's one of the one-off models that they put out one year. There's another one that's sparkle red with a racing stripe. I haven't seen either in stores for a long time, but if you look at the specs, the paint is the only thing different from any other AFS75...which go for $500 new.

[Guitar Heel]

really cool guitar though.*

*aside from the Bigsby-like vibrato unit

 

[mystixboi1]

No. Tops for that would be$375

 

[Elias Graves]

Kinda what I was thinking. My kid is sorta interested in it. I told him I thought it was a bit high but it does have the abalone and striping and the case.
I think he's lost interest now, though.

 

[Gary Blanchard]

No. Tops for that would be$375 for a week with it.

FIFY

I'd try to get him down on the price. It's a nice guitar, but I don't think it's worth his asking price at all.

 

[Stratguy]

I find the ACH1 & ACH2 humbuckers on most of the Artcores to be rather lackluster, and a little muddy. That's why the AM93 impressed me as soon as I heard it - it has Ibanez's Super 58 Customs, and those pups sparkle with clear tones.

 

[baimun]

I think that's pretty kick ass for an Ibby.
