Can you tell me the price to pay to buy a copy of J200, Ibanez 698 jumbo from 1972? Thanks |

I've got a link for you to the Argus list, because Russelw's database says nothing about these old acoustics.
In this list the closest you get is a 645 dreadnought of €500.-
but...
there are several buts:
1] the Argus list is NOT accurate at several points;
2] it's not the same guitar;
3] you should know something about the materials used in this guitar to give a good estimate. As you will know, solid spruce top is far better than laminated, but that also goes for the back and rims. Rosewood is the most expensive and the loudest with a lot of bass, mahogany and maple are less expensive. Maple gives the brightest sound. Mahogany is in between.
4] You should know how the condition of the guitar is. How are the glue joints? is the neck straight, and does it need a fret job or even a total refret? Did the bridge come (partly) loose? Was the headstock broken and repaired?
You see, there are so many factors involved, that is impossible to give a good estimate with so little information.
For what it's worth... here's the Argus list, don't take it too serious:

Good luck!
