Australian members--help needed

[LesStrat]

As I posted in a related thread, there is a young lady from my church who leaves for Hillsongs University in a couple of weeks. Can you tell me the approximate prices (new and used) for an Ibanez AEF 30? Here is a description:

Thanks for your help. We're wondering if it might be better/cheaper for her to buy an axe there rather than trying to ship one. Thanks again.

AES?

I'm looking at the Ibanez Acoustics and they don't carry that, or the AEF.

If you could be a tad more specific I can ring up the guitar shops with more because they don't seem to understand what I'm talking about.

To give you an idea on prices in Australia v US,

I found a new Ibanez AEL20 discounted here in Australia for $676, while the same model goes for $349.99 on that website you provided.

The exchange rate is approx AUS 73c = $1 US.

I import quite a bit of music gear from the states. The cheapest I can ship guitars is for approx. $100 US, and that's with the necks taken off! It really kills my profit margin so consequently, I rarely import guitars.

Oops. AEF 30, not AES. Sorry for the confusion.

Also, it would not have to be an Ibanez. A comparable model would suffice. We're just trying to offer her good advice for her trip. Thanks again for you assistance.
