Nice pics @blobb, I had an MC300 Ltd Ed for donkeys years from new, sold when wolves were at the door. Build quality was top drawer

I've also got their 12-string brother, but that one appears to have been camera shy as I can't find any pics anywhere.
From the top;
F-I
F-I & F-IJr
F-III
There's also an F-V in the range (which I don't have), and a couple of basses (F-I-B & F-II-B).
I've said it before, but Japanese guitars from that period fill me with nostalgia. In 1981 I was writing off to Summerfield(?) for Ibanez catalogues, I started buying Guitar Player and fixating on the adverts, the guitar shop windows were full of Ibanez, Aria, Washburn, Yamaha etc. Local bands had AR-100s, ST-70s and old Antorias....
In 1982 I actually ended up buying a Hamer, but I've always had a soft spot for MIJ guitars from that pre-Jem, pre-RG era. A few years ago I did buy one of the guitars from those old ads, an Aria Pro II CS-400, but it's nowhere near as elegant as your Ibanez (or TTony's Kawais).

I typed "Mark's a good guy ISN'T he"!
I've known him and Phil for years, it's a great shop, sorry it came out like I was questioning it!
But yes, my statement still stands, very pleased to have the MC back in action. I just hope they don't get any of those Kawais in stock, otherwise I think I might have to pop back to the car for a minute.....
