These are pretty popular. There always seems to be a demand for them. I have only ever seen them in the brown finish.

I have never seen a lefty in a natural finish before. Only amber, black or trans black. I wonder if it really is all original. But it is cool alright!

I have jpg copies of every brochure that Ibanez put out on the ATK series, which includes Asia, Europe, and North America. It's late, and I'm bleary-eyed, but I haven't seen a natural finish from the 90's. In the mid 2000's yes.... It looks like whatever original finish it may have had was stripped of (very well) and a clear coat sprayed on. The clear coat just doesn't look OEM to me, as it's not deep-looking, nor polished to a mirror finish. If anyone thinks I'm incorrect, I'll look at my brochure pictures when I'm sober, and in the light of day... :)

All that aside, that's a bit pricey for a 4-string - it should be more in the $325-400 price range I think, and $70 for shipping, depending on where you are in relation to the seller, seems fair...

A 300 just showed up on Arni's site, more in line with the pricing that five was thinking (I hope he's not too hungover :lol:) plus the Europe tax.
