      I am the owner of a beautiful MC550WN (Walnut), which is in good condition, the only flaw is that I lost that gold-coloured "Musician" sign, which is screwed on the head.

  1. Ibanez V310 BK
    Greg

    I was just wondering how to tell how old this guitar was. Is there a way to tell from the serial number? I picked it up in perfect shape from a garage sale for $100 CDN, but unfortunately it got knocked over during a move last year and split the next, which I’ve carefully glued back together. Still. Too bad.

  2. Ibanez Roadstar II s/n G850737
    Joe

    My son needs to find some screws that hold strings on body portion of guitar. We’re having difficulty locating correct type of screw locally. Hoping to get description of screw from parts list, but we do not know actual "model" number. Actually we’re not even sure if Ibanez would have a parts list available.

    We located markings: "Roadstar II" and serial number G850737.

    Can anyone help identify this actual "model" among the many Roadstar II’s or suggest how to get more info to size screws and where to obtain them? Thanks in advance.

  3. Cimar Electric-Guitars, who can help me?
    Andreas

    Hi everybody,
    i own an old Cimar e-guitar made between ´78 and ´81. The guitar has 2 humbuckers(white mith white frames)and 2 single-coil switches, 1 volume and 1 tone control-knob. The glued neck has a 24-fret fingerboard (i think it´s mahagony but i´m not sure), the headstock has 4 tuner on the left and 2 tuner on the right side. Original colour was sunburst red. It´s a solid-body modell, shaped lika a Fender Jazzmaster but it has bigger cutaways.
    I´m looking for further informations and pictures ´bout this and other Cimar e-guitars. Please let me now if you can help me.

        : I have a cimar guitar with an identical specification to that described by you. My guitar has a natural woood grain finish. There is a 3" stripe that splits the guitar face equally.
        : I bought my guitar brand new from a shop in Edinburgh, Scotland around 1980. It cost me £250.
        : All I know is that it is made by Ibanez.

        I had exactly the same guitar as Colin. It was my first guitar and I bought it c1985 second hand from a newly qualified doctor who had owned it from new – so this puts it about the same age. I think I paid about £85. It had twin Dimarzio humbuckers with a coil tap and it played and sounded great! It looked a bit dodgy, though. Certainly not like anything else! But it was built like a tank. I traded it in in 2000 and I wish I never had. I replaced it with a smilar specification Yamaha which is great and looks ten times better – but it’s not my first guitar any more! And I’ve no idea where mine has ended up! If I could buy it back…

        Bruce

        I also have a wonderful v310tv. It is a 1982 made in august of that year,, I purchased it from a pawn shop for $125.00. iT HAD NEVER BEEN PLAYED IT APPEARED.. Not a single wear mark on the frets, not even on G, C, And D locates..I installed a martin bridge pickup and wouldn’t trade it for the world. Plays like an electric and sounds like a rich acoustic. I also tried to find even suggested list price several years ago and had absolutely no luck finding anything out about this guitar,, not even a pick… Mine now is beat to hell from my kids kicking it over,, throwing random objects across the room at it and leaving it in all parts of the house for me to find,,,, but they do play it too,,, so i guess I did good… Still wouldn’t trade it for the world…

    1. Re: Lonestar model LS300MS price
      Xyla

      Hello Judson
      It depends on the condition. The Ibanez Lonestar acoustic LS300 was a fantastic guitar and collectors will pay well for one in really good condition.
      To someone who knows how good they are you may get about $1300.
      Hope that helps

      1. Re: Lonestar model LS300MS price
        Bill Thompson

        Judson & Xyla,

        I own an Ibanez Lonestar Series Model LS300MS (Marine Sunburst) and I was not aware of the value. I bought the guitar new in 1988 from a music store in Stockton California. The guitar has minor scratches in a few places, and I accidentally pushed it up against the arm of a couch and created a small puncture in the back of the guitar (this still bothers me to this day). I’m keeping the guitar forever because it is beautiful and has sentiment as my first acoustic guitar. I paid approximately $305, which I suspect was a steep price tag for a guitar in 1988. I remember walking into classical guitar class at the local junior college with this guitar and the other students couldn’t stop staring at it and asking how much I paid for it. I honestly did not see the value in this guitar… I bet if I had it overhauled by a good luthier that it would look new again and sound better than ever. Thanks for the input Judson & Xyla.

      Well, I found this ad from 3 years ago after I looked up what I had bought in East Berlin while I was stationed there 17 years ago. I have an Ibanez Model 2393 Les Paul copy "Super 70’s" with a beautiful natural mahogony body. It doesn’t have the pick guard, don’t look as though it ever had one, which would have distracted from the wood grain anyway. I want to sell it. Have hard case also. Offers? Atlanta area

      Do you still have it and want to sell it? I’ve been itching to get my hands on one, but it’s hard to find anyone who has the MC1 MIDI controller along with the guitar.

      I have a freind who resently bought a brand new strat and put away his Ibanez, the only problem is is that it is a RS250 not a 335, but it is 80s white with a black pick gaurd, if you let me know how much it is worth to you I could find out how much it is worth to him it is in great shape and works wonderfully

      I have four of these. I absolutely love ’em. VERY hard to find. Keep your eyes peeled on Ebay and in the used guitar stores, dude. These puppies are elusive…but worth the hunt!

      1. Early 80's model Ibanez RS335
        bcrane

        I have a black Ibanez Roadstar II RS335 with the humbucker and single-coil pickups, and tremolo bridge. I bought it new in May 1983. The body has a few minor dings and scratches and over the years, I decorated the front with stickers of various bands, but I can easily remove them along with any remaining adhesive residue without damaging the finish. Other than that, the instrument is in good shape and I’ve never had any problems with it. It has the best action of any electric guitar I have ever played. I am currently looking to buy a butterscotch blonde Telecaster and I would seriously consider selling the Ibanez for a fair price.

      : Thanks

      I have one myself. My dad bought it in 81 and has had it since but anyway a mint conditon is worth about $1000. My is in good condition and someone offered me $25 for it I laughed at them. It’s a great guitar and I will never go back to another.

      Hi keith,

      I’ve ran into one yesterday, they asked 430Euro.
      After some negociation dropped to 399 Euro.
      I had to have anyway so I bought it.
      Just for on the couch practicing.
      Plays like an electric, sound acoustic.
      Looks very peculiar, but nice though.
      Sound thin unamplified and very warm amplified.
      Limited s;apping is possible.
      Do you know what the price was in 2000?

      greetings toon

      Johnny B.

      in the same boat as you my friend, I have managed to find out that the guitar is around 1939 in year of manufacture, came with different colour options on fretboard (mine is red, a guy in Cali has one with a green board).Is very likely that its a different Ibanez company and not the one that is popular today. Thats about it really, no idea of value.

      I have a UPF-3 and the serial number indicates that it was made in 1995. Don’t know the significance of the U prefix. All the other performance series that I can find the Model # starts with a P. Mine is almost mint and I would like to sell it but would like to know what the U means before I part with it.

    2. Re: UPF3 model Ibanez Performance Acoustic
      Bill

      I found the description of the PF3 Ibanez and it appears to be the same guitar, however I believe the U refers to a special series of the PF3, the question still remains,"What was special about it?" I too have a UPF3 and have not had the occaision to see a PF3. I am not sure how much commitment I have to this discovery and may just sell the thing on ebay. I put a new nut in the guitar and spread the strings out a little more and I lowered the bridge. It plays really nice. If I were keeping it I would upgrade the gears and put Grovers on it. The wood is good the construction not bad all in all a pretty good $100 guitar.

        Ed

        I have one of these…I bought it in 1992-93 brand new..(came still wrapped in foam and frozen solid.) I didn’t play on it long before I changed my pickups to EMG’s but the pickups that were in it were really good. the guitar itself has lasted me 11 years and I have nad no problems at all..and I play it almost everyday. just recently I have noticed Fretwear..so I may refret it. I LOVE THIS GUITAR. it is a shame they don’t make them anymore. I recently purchased an Ibanez RGT42BP. although a very nice guitar..the neck, feel and weight of my EX is far better.
        it has the Wizard II like neck but it is not flat on the back it actually keeps the round shape without being fat…way more comfortable than anything I else I have played and this is year 17 of playing for me.
