Info and est. value, please: AFD45 (Artfield)

[The Eristic]

I've decided to try to hunt one down. I know it's definitely not going to be easy, but I'm up for it. Now, can you guys give me some info (how many were made and where all they were distributed, if possible), and take a guess at the value? Thanks for any info you can give me. (Btw, I'm about to start on a Maxxas hunt, too... Ah, the thrill of the chase.)

Actually I know of one for sale,it is in Italy so you wouldn't be able to try it but if you want I'll give you the mail of the store, no idea if they speak English.

Are they online?

[maialinodivino]

I'll forward you the picture they sent me, can you give me your email?
By the way I checked and it is a 40 not a 45 and with the pickup changed.

Ok, the 40 has a maple/mahogany neck, right? Instead of wenge? I'll PM you my email address.

Thanks,
Joseph

Hi. I have a afd45 1988 or 1989 model . Got it sent from Ibanez through finland and to Copenhagen since I was sponsored by Ibanez shop in Iceland at the time and I was in Copen starting a europe tour with my band at the time. That guitar had no serial number and it came in a non standard ibanez case , but still a small and short one. I put it here http://www.guitar-museum.com/guitar-...d-AFD45BG-1989 for a ridiculus amount of 6000 USD. But I am willing to listen to serious offers.

Take a look at the pics. You can also email me at damaverick@simnet.is

The reason I am even considering selling it, is that I own several ibanez guitars, among them a yellow JEM with yllow flower on Rosewood fretboard, two multicolour JEMs universes and some others, BUT, i am looking for the ultimate neckthrough guitar, perferrably with strat pickup setup but doublestack hummers in the single pickup form . The Ibanez RGT42DXFM is very exiting but I am not sure it is what I am really looking for. I once had a Washburn with single pickup and 36 frets. It had a way cool neckthrough with so called Stevens Extended Cutaway at the neck-body joint and most likely the best neck I have ever played. THose are very rare today . Wish I still had mine.
But, as said before, you can make me a offer and I might take it, if pleaseing enough. Dont get scared away by the 6K price.
