I've looked at a ton of threads, visited most of the vintage urls listed here and done several searches for info but other then a hit from Acetan in the Acoustic section and one other from a guy asking if Ibanez actually made a 755 I've drawn a blank. I've also looked at several catalogs form the 70's and have never seen a 755. My guitar was purchased in 75 used from a retailer (which is out of business now) for my mom, she in turn gave it to me about 25 years ago. It sounds and plays great and other then the nicks and chips (from moving across the US twice) it's in good shape. I'm thinking about having it reconditioned and want to know if it's worth it or just keep it as is and get another Ibanez. Here are some pics. Did Ibanez actually make this guitar? Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

This model is not listed in any catalogues, so I feel that it's another "spot production " model. This is were they would build around 100-200 units and see what sought of responce they get from the market before it becomes a full scale production model Captain Ibanez Mtman Username: Mtman Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Tuesday, October 10, 2006 - 12:27 am:    Thanks Captain!! And welcome back, honeymoon, right? Again thanks for the info and the great site. I'm looking at getting a new electric in the near future and I'm sure I'll find everything I need here. Tim
