JS900 worth 700$?

[Zox]

Hi! I saw a js900 for sale. Good condition, only one minor ding. I'm thinking of buying it, i just have a few questions.

Are all js-necks except 900 multi-radiused?
The ibanez logo on the head is white, on all the google-pics it's yellow.
Will i miss the high-pass filter?
Is it worth 700$?

Here is a picture http://213.132.112.100/images/22/2204695237.jpg

That's got to be a 1991 JS1, which has the high pass filter, and is worth more than $700, I think. Peculiar, though, that the headstock does not have the 'JS series' logo on it.

As far as I know they all have multi-radiused necks.

I know... thats what messes with my brain as well... The seller says it was made before they started putting the js-logo on but i don't think he really knows.
By the way, here's a pic of the serial number, maybe someone knows something?

I don't think you have to worry about the absence of the 'JS series' logo. If you go to the gallery section of www.ibanezrules.com, you'll see that a lot of his JS3s don't have the logo, either.

If you ask me, you've got a great bargain there. I'd say go for it, but just to be on the safe side, I'd send a PM to Rich asking him to verify that serial number. He's an expert on that stuff.

Cool guitar, Zox.

Are the push-pull-pots suppose to look like that, i'm not that good with js´s.

Thanks!

That's a good question. I think it looks fine. But I've never seen a JS up close like that. Maybe you could ask Rich this, too.
