I'd be interested to hear what it sounds like. Maybe you could play it sitting down or something?

Seems impractical. But for 25k - it's a steal!

I think the guitar itself is probably only 6K.

The rest is shipping & Handling.

I remember the clear solid lexan guitars that Ampeg made in the 60's. They weighed a ton.
At least I think it was Ampeg.

It seemed like my Les Paul weighed about the same at the end of the gig.

When all is said and done, you'd have to ask yourself WHY??? I wonder if the frets are replaceable. Just in case you did want it for gigs.

Imade sure I did not hit the" buy it now " button as I looked at it. What is 76 lbs of brass worth?

You have to hit more than one button to buy something on eBay, my friend. But that was a good plan. What a hunk of junk. Patina, my rear end! :lol:

Finally looked at the link this morning. $25K??!! :lol: I'm sure there are a lot of 'Ibanez collectors' out there!

The problem with all-metal guitars is they change size (literally) with temperature change - throwing tuning and intonation off. 76 lbs - must be solid brass? WHY?! :roll:
