Author Message Wulfman (Wulfman) Posted on Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 2:42 am:    Just wondering if anyone could give a little info on this guitar. I just picked it up at a flea market in Switzerland for about $60. It's in good condition and sounds better that my Martin! How old, what's it worth, etc. Thanks Munch (Munch) Posted on Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 8:35 am:    Some of those Concords were excellent guitars. $60 is a great price for any old Ibanez acoustic. You scored big time! It is probably a mid '70's vintage. Cheers, Mark Johns (Johns) Posted on Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 1:02 pm:    Wulfman: Check out the Acoustics page at IbanezVintage.com. Here's the URL: http://216.250.245.172/acoustic.html There's a scan of the catalog page (I think it's from 1978), that describes the guitar as: •Hand polished, jet-black top, back and sides. •Fine grain spruce top with deluxe wooden marquetry around the sound hole. (probably not a solid top) •Fancy shaped rosewood bridge. •Chrome plated individual machine heads. There are dimensions, but I can't read them. There is a price list (probably from 1977 or 1978) that states: • #752 D size jet black body 220.00 What it's worth now is hard to say. The market for used Ibanez acoustics is nothing like that for Martins. Certainly more than $60. If there's nothing wrong with it, the original price is a good place to start. How old is it? A serial number would help. If you don't see one on a label or the back of the headstock, check inside on the neck block.

I don't think so mate... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2385&item=3776557943&rd =1 six
