sry man , old ibanez's are pretty cheap also . u can check up ebay and roughly know the price .
This are pics of my 26 year old gutiar. Anyone can tell me why the colour gone all weird (It was kept in a storeroom all this time in a leather bag)? It was suppose to be like beige. How can i fix the colour? I notice that it is getting lighter after i polished and kept it out in the open. Maybe its just me. haha

Well, it looks seasoned thats all. haha. It was hardly played. The frets are in great condition, in fact the whole guitar is basically in great condition(no scratches or dings) just this weird colour. Even the tuner are only slightly tarnished. The made in Japan sticker is still stuck to the back of the headstock. I might send it for refretting though, cos the frets are a bit dull, but thats just my personal preference. Nothing bad
Anyway, i have an Ovation Celebrity CSE24 and compared to that, the Cimar is much more mellow but the sound is much fuller. I guess its because the Ovation has an acoustic bowl and is a cutaway. The Cimar resonates very well too and has the perfect action setting. Easy to play. The neck is fatter than the ovation though, but still very comfortable. I think i am starting to love this gutiar more than my Ovation. Haha

don't trash the guitar k. Then can pass down to your kids and your kids can pass down to their kids and they can pass it down to their kids! And you get my drift aye?
It'd be pretty cool if you do that. Then it might appear on guiness world records. Ok thinking too much. Hehehe.

Hehehe.Dude, i have the same guitar...I just took it to be restored...it was my dad's back in the 80...he bought it in 1981 and almost never played it...so it's in perfect shape...i calibrated it, polished it and changed a few things...like the pins... it's an excelent guitar, and i kind of like the funny colour yours have...i guess it was the sun or humidity.

Probably with age the colour would peel off and polish would thin the finish therefore peeling the paint of, the cloth used to polish got paint?
Probably to 'fix' the colour you mean Repaint?
