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

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

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.

Nice example for sale over here. However, he seems to think he paid £280 for it in 1973!!

I don't think so mate...
