87.0. "INFO > IBANEZ" by 51320::ERIKSSON () Fri Nov 07 1986 12:45

    Hello !
    A couple of years ago I wanted to play electric-guitar
    so I bought me an Ibanez orcestral-guitar.
    Some frends of me told me that the one I bought is
    not sheap (I bought it sheap).
    Sence I bought it I havent seen one who looks like
    mine. My qestion is now : How do I know the model ?
                              (By serial number or what ?)
                              Any idea of it's worth.
    ps. It's from the 60:s (early).ds.

87.1ARE YOU SURE?CSSE::CLARKFri Nov 07 1986 15:395
    IBANEZ? FROM THE EARLY SIXTIES? ARE YOU SURE? BY AN 'ORCHESTRAL
    GUITAR', DO YOU MEAN ONE OF THOSE BIG F-HOLE ARCH-TOPS? THEY ARE
    VERY EXPENSIVE AS A RULE.

87.2JAWS::PELKEYJust try doing THAT on a piano !Tue Nov 11 1986 13:5513
        < ps. It's from the 60:s (early).ds.
    
	Wow !  I didn't even think Ibanez was around then !
    
    	Post the serial number, and a brief description of what it
    	looks like.  There is a guy I know who collects rare/old
    	git-fiddles, he might now as he has some old odd ball Ibanez
    	pieces.

    	as far as with, if it's that old, and a semi hollow f hole piece,
    	it would be expensive in the states.  Actually it be considered
    	an antique.

    Ibanez wasn't around in the sixties.  
    There should be a name on the guitar (I doubt it's Ibanez if it's
    that old).  If there's no name then it must be generic company too
    emabarassed to let you know).

    I am sure it's a Ibanez, because the logo is placed
    at the head off the neck.You may heard of a hard rock
    group called EUROPE, the lead guitar player has
    confirmed that it is a Ibanez.
    How ever , I will look for the serialnumber and
    try to describe it more in detail.

87.5Why not?STKA1::ANDERSSONMon Dec 22 1986 10:1510
    Ofcourse it could be an Ibanez. Had one myself in the sixties (not
    the same). 
    






    
87.6more confusions...BPOV10::LEAHYFri Jun 05 1987 14:5014
    I have a similar question... I recently had some guitars stolen
    (got them all back) but when I tried to get prices, this guitar
    was no where to be found...
    
    It's an Ibanez 12-string Artist Dreadnaught Acoustic, I don't think
    there is a serial # (I'll check).
    
    I bought it in 1982 in Spain for $200 American, figuring it would
    go for about 5 or 6 here in the states.  But no one (not even the
    IBANEZ information man) could find any information related to this
    particular model.  Anybody have any clews?

    I was perusing a copy of the 1994 Ibanez catalog and was mostly
    disappointed with their offernigs.  Most appealing to me were their
    jazz boxes.  All their electrics look the same, and feature mostly the
    same electronics.  Gone are the _nice_ wood grained USA CUSTOM series
    guitars from the 92 catalog ... sad, they were very very nice axes.

    from cheapest to dearest and so on....

    Over the years Ibanez has made everything from cheap (but often 
    pretty good) copies of other companies' instruments to high quality
    pro instruments of their own design.  So the range of potential
    values is pretty huge.
