Vintage Acoustic Guitar

PLEASE CHECK OUT THIS NICE VINTAGE IBANEZ ACOUSTIC GUITAR.  IT IS IN GUC.  HAS MOTHER OF PEARL INLAYS AROUND SOUNDHOLE AND ON NECK.  WHOEVER OWNED IT PUT THE INITIALS JK ON THE BLACK PIECE ON THE HEAD.  IT DOESN'T STAND OUT AS VERY NOTICEABLE.  BUT SINCE IT DIDN"T SHOW UP WELL ON THE FIRST PICTURES I LISTED, I TOOK A CLOSE-UP PHOTO (#4)  

40 1/2IN LONG.   NECK APPROX 24IN.

BEAUTIFUL SOUND

IT COMES WITH WHAT I BELIEVE IS THE ORIGINAL CASE WITH CRUSHED RED VELVET LINING.  THE LINING IS IN GREAT SHAPE.  THE OUTSIDE OF THE CASE HAS A FEW TEARS AROUND THE EDGES BUT OTHERWISE IT IS INTACT AND EVEN HAS THE KEY TO IT.  IT CLOSES AND FASTENS SECURELY.

THE GUITAR HAS A FEW MINOR SIGNS OF USE LIKE MINOR SCRATCHES AND A FEW VERY SMALL CHIPPED AREAS AROUND THE BORDER THAT ARE NOT THAT NOTICEABLE AND IN NO WAY TAKES AWAY FROM THE BEAUTY OF THE GUITAR.  SEE 3rD PICTURE.  I TOOK MORE PICTURES SO YOU CAN SEE HOW NICE IT IS.

I FOUND IT AT A GARAGE SALE AND AND THE MAN SELLING IT STATED IT WAS FROM THE 1970'S. 

I HUNTED DOWN INFO ON IT.  ON A WEBSITE S93105080.ONLINEHOME.US/IBANEZ CATALOGS, I FOUND A PICTURE THAT LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE IT IN THE 1974 CATALOG.

IF THIS IS INDEED THE SAME GUITAR, IT STATES THAT IT IS A DREADNOUGHT 697 CONCORD SERIES 1974.   FURTHER RESEARCH STATES THAT ALMOST ALL OF IBANEZ GUITARS WERE MADE EXCLUSIVELY IN JAPAN FROM 1970'S AND MOST OF 80'S.  

I AM NOT AN EXPERT ON GUITARS AND DO NOT KNOW FOR 100% SURE IF THIS IS THE VERY SAME IBANEZ AS IN THE CATALOG BUT IT LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE CATALOG PICTURE.

THERE ARE NO OTHER MARKINGS THAT I CAN FIND ON IT.  THE TAG THAT WAS INSIDE HAS BEEN TORN OUT.  PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND AS YOU BID.

I HAVE TRIED TO BE AS HONEST AS POSSIBLE IN THE DESCRIPTION AND STRIVE TO GIVE 5 STAR SERVICE.

PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING BECAUSE THERE ARE NO RETURNS.

WE CONSIDER REASONABLE OFFERS.

PLEASE PAY WITH PAYPAL WITHIN 3 DAYS AND I WILL SHIP WITHIN 3 DAYS USING STANDARD SHIPPING. 

THANKS FOR LOOKING AND PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER GREAT AUCTIONS. 

SPECS IN THE CATALOG STATE THAT IT HAS A ROSEWOOD BACK AND FRONT. FULL GRAIN SPRUCE TOP. CHROME PLATED INDIVIDUAL MACHINE HEADS.
