Re: Ibanez V300

this guitar is very nice. had mine since about 1981. very fine grain on the spruce top. Mine is a sunburst fnish. Mahogany back and sides. 2 pc back. sealed heads, trussrod. not worth 5 bucks on ebay but would cost 1500 in a martin w the same features probably without a gloss finish. I've banged it around, fingerpicked it, bluegrassed it, changed string gauges etc, willie nelson played and signed it one time.

I'm posting about it because i am getting ready to buy a new guitar and am looking to upgrade. so how do i upgrade in a Martin - well i need to go with rosewood back and sides and thats at least a D16, not one of the dx models. Plus 200 for a gloss. So I'm at about $1600 to $2000 to repalce what I've got with a Martin logo... what is this v300 worth?????? well 50 bucks on ebay.
