Hi...
A friend of mine just bought an old Ibanez archtop. Inside are the words "Ibanez, Salvatore" underneath aree the words
"Copy - Rafael Caelace No. 8"
That's all he could make out, and he's not sure about that, even! Anyway, it looks like an archtop with the f holes and floating bridge... Can you tell me anything about it?
Thanks.

Thanks so much, Mr Donahue... OK - I'm gonna get a photo taken and post it for ya... you should see this thing - it's really beautiful!
I just had a neck repair done on another old Ibanez acoustic. This has model # 690 written on the label inside ("Ibanez Vintage, made in Japan under strict quality control") and there's a number on the neck block inside (751209) - can you help me with this? When was it made? The guitar is bound in mother of pearl around the body and sound-hole - not flashy, it's rather subtle - thin lines all around. The headstock has the logo inlaid in mother of pearl, also... Anything you can tell me would be appreciated... |

One more thing - it's a solid spruce top, rosewood fingerboard (in perfect condition), and solid mahogony back and sides - at least that's what the guitar repair guy told me...
Thanks, Mr Donahue... |
