Hello Sigmania, thanks again very much for the input! My guitar is in much better shape than the one on eBay. It's in the same condition than it was when I bought it in 2009, because it never left my living room since then. The problem is, my guitar selling friend IS the person who wants to buy...

Hello Sigmania, thanks for the Reverb links - I hadn't seen those when I checked there, but I'm certainly not giving mine away for 489,69 Euros like the 1995 one from Russia. The one from Spain for 435 Euros is a Korean model (3 screw TRC). 829,92 Euros (plus shipping - and tax, if sold to the...

Mine was Made in Japan in 1990, serial No. 9002**. I bought it in 2009 for 555 Euros, which would be 710 adjusted for inflation today. It's in very good condition, except for some minor dong on the cutaway horn, which was already ther when I got it. I do have the pickguard. Here are some pics:

Hello 3rdstone, maybe I'm too late in replying, but I've got a 1990 LS-55 that I might consider selling, if the price is right. I'm in NW Germany, but could work out shipping. If you've already found one, could you please tell me what you paid for it - or how much you would have maximum...

Hi everybody - It's been a while... What would my 1990 LS-55 Gold Top in good condition probably fetch, if I decided to sell it?

From what I've learned on ibanezcollectors.com or looking at eBay, it seems that prices for guitars are still like the Euro vs. $ was still like 1:1, i.e. an axe that sells for 600$ in the U.S. of A. will cost approximately the same amount in Euros on this side of the pond.

Hi Michall! I thought I'd answer your PM here, so the experts here can chime in... I'm not sure if my Gold Top ( http://www.tokaiforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=12462&highlight=ls55) is is exactly the same as the the one you're looking at, because mine says "TLS550" under the neck PU, and so far I...

Thanks for your reply, Ozeshin - don't worry, I don't easily feel shot at... :wink: (if something I said annoyed anyone here, please bear in mind I'm no native speaker, so some of the subtleties of the English language might be unknown to me...) I've done quite a lot of digging on this site...

*bump* Sorry to make this thread such a one-man-show, but I'd really appreciate if someone here could answer some more of my questions. (Maybe I'm expecting too much, but I was spoiled by http://www.ibanezcollectors.com/forum/ - :wink: but I guess they get a lot more traffic over there - or...

Done some more diggin' on this wondeful site. For whatever reason, there seems to be no info available for 1990-94, but the specs in the '89 and '95 catalogs led me to the assumption that my TLS550 is somewhere between the '89 TLS50 and the '95 LS55. Am I safe to guess that the pickups are...

Ok - took some pics. Wonder if this'll work... http://aol.pixum.de/viewalbum/id/4171218

Allright - I've just done a little bit of "Breezin'" with "Jessica" to "Europa" and MAN - I am impressed indeed! :D The model no. does in fact seem to be TLS 550 - I've found it mentioned in the forum once and in the registry twice. I'd guess the formula: model no. equals ORP in the ten...

OK - pulled out the neck PU and here's what I've found: "S - 32" "TLS 550" I haven't seen any reference to "TLS 550" on this site so far, so my best guess would be: LS 55 ?!? Does anybody have the specs for those pick ups (kOhms, Alnico/ceramic)? They seem pretty hot when compared to the...

Got back from an EIGHT-hour return trip to Hamburg thru rain and snow and traffic jams to pick her up - but it was worth it! I briefly dropped by a friend of mine who owns 3 Gibby Gold Tops (one from '52, the other two late 60s/early 70s). He was pretty impressed by my new toy... ;D I'll pull...

OK - more tomorrow. If I'm able to put her down and go to the computer, that is... :wink: Thanks so far, gentlemen and Good Night!
