It is part of the \"Golden Era\" of Japanese guitar manufacturing, known for exceptional craftsmanship that often rivalled American-made counterparts of the same period. The original Japanese-made AR100 series ran from 1979 to 1984. This 1981 model sits in a prime year for the series, just before certain hardware and pickup changes were implemented in 1982 and 1983. For example, this guitar features the highly-regarded Ibanez V2 humbuckers with cream bobbins, which were replaced by Super 58s in 1982.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALL EU PURCHASES ARE DELIVERED WITH TAXES AND DUTIES PAID\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAll purchases include EU taxes\/duties paid, i.e., nothing further is due on receipt of goods to any EU state.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHY BUY FROM US\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWe are one of the world's leading specialists in used and vintage gear with over 30 years of experience.
