Lawsuit Ibanez ES175 copy

Sysco, I was thinking about the same thoughts. $500-$700 would be better but one would not have a bad guitar, nice extras and like you said, Ibanez history and build quality. Sadly I am not swimming in money and feel like if I splurged on this, I should be using the money for other things like a new seat for my Bobcat, a root canal ( dental insurance), tools for my carpentry, parts for my cars and trucks, etc etc. I wish somehow I could cover all the bases. Darnit

F'n reality check... :mad:
 
HA, the story of my life. Sysco

Of course, I would not buy it for $900-$1000 even if I weren't strapped. If a good guitar comes my way in the $500-$700 range, I consider acquiring a guitar. Of course, if one comes up for $0-$500 I do likewise. Only faster HAHA

Someone call me a psychiatrist. This is ALMOST exactly like the 335 I saw once at a Music Store in Gaithersburg MD that was waiting the 30 day process of clearing police records of not being stolen before the store could actually sell it.

I always was a sucker for the natural Walnut color Gibson's like ES's, SG's etc.

That's a beauty guitar my little big buddy! Is it a semi-hollow body or a full hollow body? All that guitar needs now is a Bigsby whammy bar.:wink:


;>)/
 
I believe the ES 150 and are fully hollow.

Also, the 150's might also be on the skinny side neck wise. 1 9/16 is what I read the initial ones were.

Black, my first Steve Harris bass was that same shade called Lake Placid Blue

The current one I have which is based off the one the man himself is holding. To me it is one of the sweetest chunkiest P basses ever. The Japanese that made my 2nd version knocked it out of the park.

Well, I am thinking I am going to go try out the Ibanez. I know I am low on dough, but I am going to get a few checks on jobs, and going to hopefully sell a few things or get loan at pawn shop or something, but I really do think it will be a super sweet guitar and if the guy can come down a bit, I will have a true sweet old 175.
 
I also saw a Greco and another Ibanez on ebay for the $800 ish range I might use to bargain the guy down, or choose one of them instead.,, Seemingly I think Ibanez might have been making Greco's, Bradley versions too.

I just love that Jazzy sound.
