I have been searching online and locally for some info on my 12 string. It's an Ibanez York bought in 1975. I have played it maybe 10 times since I have had it, kept in a hardshell case and it's still in brand new condition. The model# is 646. What I can see of the serial# (which is etched on the inside up by the neck) reads 75__715
The blank is half a number, could be a 3,5 or an 8. I am trying to get a value on it, one of the guitar dealers here in town told me is a high quality instrument, made with solid mahogany looks to be on the high end. Can you help me? |

Sunneecyndee:
Here's a scan of the 1975 catalog that shows the model 646:
http://www.break-even.org/ibzscans/1975FB/75acc-6.jpg
Here's the only specs I could find and list price (not sure what year the price is from):
#646 D size,12 string, fine grain Spruce top, Rosewood back and sides US$199.00.
The spruce top is most likely laminated, not solid.
As far as current pricing, here's a summary of ebay auctions, as of 12/04:
| Mod No. | Desc. | Avg. Cond. | Sales | Hi | Low | Avg. | Avg. 4/04 | Avg. 12/04 | | 646-12 | 12 string | 9.1 | 6 | 507 | 145 | 332 | - | 298 |
Hope this helps. |
