He says it's Greco, but some clown has put a Gibson decal on it so perhaps not. It has a few issues, but it looks pretty much the same as the Ventura ES175 I had at Doogfest.

Not the best deal considering the condition but might be worth in case it doesn't sell and he lowers the price. In better condition it would be worth more like £550-650 but with a small headstock repair and a few other issues it could end up selling for less.

That thing's pretty sweet, but yeah, definately not a Gibby. The decals a pretty bad one. anyways, yeah i think if the price was like 100-150 pounds less then that i think it would be a slammin' deal.

There's an upmarket Ibanez version. I imagine that will go for £800 or so.

Trying to find one of these is a bit of a lucky dip. They made so many different models in Japan but you don't see too many for sale over here. I'm not going to buy another but I'd be very tempted by a 335 type. I'd probably prefer something that was a 3xx other than a 335 but I don't know the model numbers. There is usually one or two pu sale but some of the prices (or at least the asking prices) have shot through the roof.

£870. that's a crazy price for one with a burst that ugly and a non-gibson headstock. also, those inlays are retarded.
