LNG Case Question

jem20thlover · #1 06-06-2007, 12:27 PM

There is an amazing LNG on the bay right now, xxxxxxxxxxx, brand new in the original case.

Now, here's my question. What numbers came with the case with the pyramid on the outside. Mine has the original case, but it isn't even pink, its grey on the inside. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

The number in the pyramid on the case should match the number on the guitar.

Wow! An LNG with handrest in unplayed condition. Lets see were the bids will end.

Where is it usually written for the LNG?

In the pyramid near the pink "Ibanez" logo

HUSA - All LNG's put in JEM1000C's with the numbered pyramid plaque.

Chesbro - Got tired of waiting for HUSA to send them their cases [as is always the case] and put their LNG's in generic gray lined cases [like yours]
Your auction - 290100888784,
Your case - http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v2...t=IMG_0990.jpg

World - Typically most were put in molded M150C's.

Japan - most were thrown in gig bags.

Anything that sat in a dealer could have easily been seperated from it's original case and either sold without it or put in whatever the sales guy thought it was supposed to be in. Information in 1988 wasn't exactly flowing like it is today.

Damn Rich, you keep up with my guitar well

. Do you have surveillance on my house too?

So there WAS a numbered case for mine, but they got tired of waiting so I got my crappy grey lined case. Gotcha.

So Rich, do you have pictures of any of my other Jems?

No, there were JEM1000's, and there were pyramids that would be stamped with a number using a die set. They just taped onto the cases with double sided tape.
