Help identifying an artist

[Jacob K]

Hey all.

I found this for sale in a city that I'll be visiting some time this year, and I'm wondering about the specific model number.

It's the only 24-fret Artist I've seen, and there's no Ibanez logo on the ball-end holder, so I'm a little puzzled!

Thats a mid 70's Artist, Flying Finger (Super80s) pickups and old style bridge and headstock logo.

Ah, interesting. Does it have coil tap? Should I grab it?

It'll probably cost me around $600

That's a 1978 2618. The finish is called CherryWine. For $600 I would have bought already, no question

Thanks jim.

I'll make a call when I visit the city which it is in, but first I am going around my town's supermarkets to put up notes saying I'm looking for old Ibanez guitars (just to see what happens).

Cheers!
