Sometimes.... when you dont have the money, someone brings something to your attention that really makes you get a case of bad GAS.
So, here is the setup... About a year ago, my neighbor who happens to be a dummer/basses tells me about this Ibanez that he got from a friend in Brazil. The way he described it was like it was a Les Paul Jr. guitar. So, I think nothing of it at all because, in my personal opinion, I cannot stand Les Pauls. So, I come walking home today from the train station and I hear this guys wife telling me to come into the house. So, I slide on in and he tells me to open up the case.
Here is what I see.....
OMFGODHELLYEAHBBQ!!!Shift+111One1Eleven! A Reb Beach Model Ibanez Voyager. I always wanted one as a kid.
Trying to keep my composure, I looked at him and mentioned that it was not made in brazil but japan like all the rest of the ibanez's and compliment him on the instrument. He tells me that he wants a hollow body. I ask him how much he wants for it. He tells me to take it home and give it a whirl and we will talk about it later. I gotta find out more information about this thing. It's serial number is F112571. Time to plow the fucken internet and make this transaction work =)
Any idea what these go for?

1987 - 1996 - Guitars built in Japan between these years will have a serial number beginning with F followed by 6 numbers. F is the production factory which stands for Fujigen. The first digit will be the last digit of the year, ie. F8***** is a guitars made in Fujigen in 1988. The last 5 numbers will be the consecutive number denoting production count for the year. 25899 would be the 25899th guitar built that year.
You may try to get a discount because of that!
