WTB a Japenese ES 175 model or similar.

I have owned a Tokai FA70 which I liked a lot, but would like to move up to a better quality instrument. There was a Orville by Gibson on here very lately, but it was more than I could run to at the time.

Would you be interested in a Yamaha SA2200?

Looks like this:



I can do it with or without the trem.

Lovely guitar, but I picked up a "vintage" (80s) SA2000S recently that I prefer so I'm considering selling the SA2200. I've not thought about pricing yet, but let me know if you're interested.

Cheers Robin.That's a tasty looking alright, but I already have a 335 style guitar. I'm looking for a deep bodied archtop with a single cutaway. I think it won't hang around here too long when you decide to sell. GLWS. Cheers, Finbar

any interest in a 1981 Ibanez FG100, as used by GB

FINBAR2004

Thanks for the offer prudd,  I've no doubt the Ibanez is a fine instrument but I've never been taken with the look of the fancy trapeze. I prefer a plainer look. I'm really looking for one of the better end Tokai, Orville or Greco.

No problem finbar, hope you find the right guitar, I can recommend the OBG's, not had the es175 but have played a couple of Les Paul's and own one myself.

Hi Finbar, If you are OK with customs duties there are some tasty Japanese models on J-Guitar. It's a collective site with a number of Japanese retailers and the prices are good even with customs and shipping. I got an amazing price on a high end acoustic through the site.

Late 70's Ibanez GB10,exc cond?

FINBAR2004

Hi tugwell. I know nothing about this model. Could you pm me any details and what you want for it? I don't to waste your time if it's above my budget. There seems to be a few variations from what I can gather, so if you had a pic or two or any links to reviews/info that would be great. Cheers, Finbar

This is a fine guitar, top quality, had the pleasure of playing it last year.

Have a look at the Eastman AR371CE. They're Chinese but the quality is superb. I have one as my main gigging guitar. Mine isn't for sale but even a new one is less than £1000. They seem to go for about £6-700 used.
