2144.0. "Ibanez PF100" by SNOC02::SHEARDJEFF () Mon Mar 18 1991 02:59

    Just got my first electric guitar, and I'd like to know if anyone out
    there can give me any background - it's an Ibanez PF100. Appears to be
    a straight Les Paul copy, with the same pickups etc. Mine has a really
    nice tobacco sunburst finish. The guy I got it off bought it new in
    early 1981. He never played it, so it is in brand new condition, I mean
    new ! It don't have a mark on it ! It cost me $300Aust (about $225US),
    and he chucked in a funky old amp, leads, pedals etc - Did I get a deal
    or what ?
    
    I found the guitar in the paper, and met the guy at an auto repair shop
    (where he was having his car fixed). I set up the guitar and amp in the
    middle of the workshop and started jamming some 12 bar. Before I knew
    it, all these greasy mechanic types were dancing around singing and
    banging spanners etc. The guitar felt great, and I was able to get just
    the right raw and bluesy tones out of it.
    
    All this seemed to add up to a cosmic "rightness", so after weeks of
    checking out strat copies etc, I got one out of left field !
    
    Anyone know anything about these guitars ?
    
    Jeff.
