Ibanez Firebird on Reverb

DannyP

I get a lot of reverb.com banner ads and I often play a game with myself where I guess the asking price then click to see how far off I was.

For this, my guess was £700 and I was miles off!

Is that really what they fetch?

The ibanez name probably helps.

I had a CSL version which will have been made at a similar time at the same factory.  It had lost all original parts and had been messed with a lot

I think your guess was generous

It's a very cool thing. But 2 grand!

Of late, I’ve seen a number of late ‘70’s/early ‘80’s Ibanez guitars (Firebird copies, Destroyers, etc) with insane asking prices - some almost £2.5K. I really don’t know what shift in the market (or perception of the market) has pushed them into that region. It seems completely bizarre.

If you want to spend 2k I have a destroyer for sale :-D

£515 for shipping? Will that include import duties etc?
