[FloralFP77]

I have a 2003 Ibanez Floral FP77...15th anniversary limited edition..came with extra back plate signed by Steve Vai himself..does anyone know how many were made and how many were issued with signed back plate?

I believe HUSA was 105, Chesbro was 25. Chesbro did not have their plats signed so the 20 I got from them I had Steve sign 20 plates for. No other country called them 15th Anniversary's so only US guitars can be considered 15ths.

I have the same Floral from 2003..mine came with an extra signed back plate too..I was told that only 108 were distributed in the U.S. with the extra back plate..that's just what I was told..mine has been in it's case since I bought it new in 2003..I've only strummed it a few times..it's in mint condition..an absolute tone monster and ultimate shredder.....I was actually thinking of selling it..but they have gone up so much in value..I'd probably never find another in such great condition..

Any idea how these are compared to the new Premium Florals?

I'm old school so I tend to think that older guitars are of better quality.You certainly can't go wrong with a newer Ibanez Premium model..I'm quite sure they will all hold their value.They all play and sound incredibly sweet.
