Lawsuit Ibanez ES175 copy

Every time I get a situation like this I am torn torn torn. I know I need my money to pay for other stuff, and yet a good piece of gear comes my way. Now, I also have found cheaper alternatives to this Ibanez, one is a little newer same model different headstock, the others, Aria, Greco, etc for a tad less money, but not with cases or extra pups etc. Also not local pickup.

Decisions Decisions, If only the local one was $500
 
Some times Chili ---- ya just gotta say WHAT THE FLANIGANS and go fo rit......lifes short--have fun -----the bill swill be there the gutiar may not

(Id make a great drug addiction recovery counselor eh????) ----screw it man ---bump that 8 ball lifes short!!!!!
 
HAHA Adrian. 8 ball?

I am pondering the darn thing and told Sp8 as I see it, the Guitar itself is like $600, Original Pups and Pickguard let's say $150, Duncan Pups $150, and 2 cases $100 if he won't go lower than $1000. So, not really majorly hateful.
 
Both Nice, Ray.

Of course a few loud voices in my head say 2 way different things.
The loud one says, "BUY the IBANEZ 2355"
The loud one says, " Save your money" it is too hard to accumulate.

Listen to the loud one. Extra guitars are bought with extra money.
 
Today the Loudest voice of all spoke to me.
As I went back to my house in the country where I have been burglarized twice since 2012 I stopped by to get my mail and take a quick walk around the property. Well, my bad luck continues. Someone stole 3 of my aluminum ladders my aluminum brake and some of my lawn furniture. This took some doing to find the ladders and brake as they were about 150 feet off the road behind a garage and the furniture was over behind some trucks and cars. I am dreading my return trip as I am sure to find more stuff I thought of that might have walked but it was getting too dark to hunt around after thinking about the additional possible loot. GRRRRR I hate thieves.
 
HAHA @ Phil X and Freak Out then Stormtroopin Nugent riffs and some good ole Cheap Sunglasses!!!!.


Those early Phil X FA videos were extra special. I can't believe what they blew up into.

That Stormtroopin' tone is :shock: .

My view is, if this is a 'gotta have' guitar, pull the trigger. If it is not, keep looking. The right one will come along.

I used to window shop on Reverb all the time for non-reverse Firebirds. Then one day, one came along at a price I couldn't refuse. I was like a dog that caught a squirrel and didn't know what to do with it. Luckily I came to my senses and hit the "buy it now" button. Now it's my #1.

Got my eye on another one but the price isn't nice enough. Yet.
 
BTW-I played an Ibby AFS75T in Guitar Center one day. It was like $275! used. It was a seriously good guitar. I didn't need it, but it played at about 4 or 5 times is price level.
 
Thanks Don, Yup I have many places I have to be to take care of family and jobs etc and am not at my house much. Sadly, A holes think the stuff I work hard to earn gives them the right to make it theirs.
Looks like sadly I have to call the cops and get police reports and file more claims with my insurance company. Sadly I think my deductible is going to be as much as that Ibanez 2355. DAMMIT
