Members thriftyshirt Posted February 22, 2007 Members Share Posted February 22, 2007 This is a very rare Ibanez AXF75 full hollowbody electric. This model was a part of the "Artcore" line, and these got extremely high reviews, including a top honor from Guitar One magazine, but for some reason Ibanez stopped making these after 9 months. This one is all original, and a great player. It is the "bad back" players dream as it is EXTREMELY light weight (5-6 lbs) due to its small full hollow body. Other than minor playing wear, this guitar has 2 small issues. First it is missing its switch tip for the pickup selector. I lost the tip off another guitar and took the tip off this one to replace it. The tip is a standard Gibson size and is a $3 replacement. Second minor issue is that the 22nd fret has been removed. The fret was never seated properly, and I simply removed it, since this guitar has no cutaway, and it was uncomfortable to play up that high on it anyway. It wouldn't be hard to replace it if you wanted to, frankly I never missed it. The guitar will ship with (inside) a TKL universal bass case. I don't know that Ibanez ever made a hard case for this guitar, and due to its unique shape, a standard guitar case just won't fit. It will also be double boxed and very securely packaged and shipped via FedEx with insurance. Here is an ebay auction for one of these (one of only 2 of others of these models I've ever seen anywhere) that ended at $399 plus shipping: http://cgi.ebay.com/Ibanez-AXF74-Small-Archtop-Guitar-Extremely-Rare_W0QQitemZ200059317286QQihZ010QQcategoryZ33043QQcmdZViewItem Pics: I'd like$320 shipped in the ConUSA.
