That's not just rare, the AV (antique violin) finish is highly sought after in the Ibanez community. Have you tried ICW?

Thanks, would keep it, but need to thin the herd before buying something else!

Keep it, guaranteed you'll miss or even regret it coz you won't find another especially in that condition.

Wow!

You won't find another. Only 2 recorded on ICW.

£650 is a crazy price for what this is. Impeccable workmanship, all original, alu flight case. Looks pristine too.

78 is my YOB I have a Fender and a Gretsch I might consider trading. Let's talk on PM. Distance could be against us though.

These are terrific instruments... lucky buyer. I have one in dark stain, plus I have an MC300 in dark stain which gets played more just because I prefer passive pickups. Could be a reason to sell the MC400!

I see the ICW boys are getting into the spirit with this one :-) Are you regretting it yet?

stratosonic

Not one bit, I much prefer the USA strat that's replaced it, but I best not say that to the ICW folks

I shared that thought on ICW
