clarkuss Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I think this is the only one I've ever seen! Wow! The 355 is definitely in my top 10 of all time for obvious reasons but doesn't seem to have had much popularity in the homage department. This one was made by Ibanez for Antoria in the 70s: Currently going for £385 on ebay.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerome_travis Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 the old ibanez were great - also the reason why I sold my fender strat. My own '83 strat copy sings.. Nice copy! Have you heard of Greco from Japan? They make excellent copies too. There was a walnut 345 copy going for roughly $600USD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic Flick Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Wow! where can you find one of those? I saw one on eBay once, I think I bid on it. It's a model 2399, mid-2-late 70s. Prior to 1976, they had pickups that looked like Les Paul Recording pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyg Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 That's a nice looking guitar and well worth the asking price. Some confusion here though. Ibanez didn't make guitars for Antoria they were just made in the same factory, same production line in Japan and branded accordingly. If I remember correctly Summerfield imported Ibanez guitars into the UK and FC&N imported Antoria. The earliest models of both types featured identical headstocks to a Gibson (the so called "law suit" models) but had to be changed after Gibson took action to stop them doing so. I have an absolutely brilliant Antoria ES175 model from 1974 which is far better than the current Epiphone re-issue. I'd be glad to share a picture or two with you if only I could suss out how to post a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldie Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Being made by Ibanez, it's probably better than a gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkuss Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 It's currently at £505! I've never seen a non-gibby 355. I need something one day to fulfill a big chuck berry shaped space on my guitar stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
