  • Are you sure it is an "Orbanez?" There is no listing for this in the Vintage Guitar Guide. The I in the Ibanez script does look like an O to me. There was, as you probably found out through your own searching, an "Ibanez Concord" in the `70's. Here is a link to more information: http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Acoustic+Guitar/product/Ibanez/Concord+Acoustic/10/1 If you can publish a link to a photo, that would help me identify it for you. Sometimes these old guitars were made by different companies and the name assigned was unique to the music store that ordered them. If I can recoginze from the guitar's appearance the name of the company that might have made it, I could search under that company's name for information.
  • Ibanez nut here. Sorry, Ibanez did not begin manufacturing their own guitars till 65. Before this date they we're known for lots of different instruments just not guitars. The truth about the name Ibanez is that the name was purchased by a rich japanese business man that wanted to sell instruments in the US. This was during World War 2. The value of a NON Japanese name for his product was very important if he wanted to sell anything in the US
  • I also have a guitar which I always thought was an "Obanez" but after reading the comments in response to your question, I realize it is actually an Ibanez! The 750.12 you quote is the model number of your guitar. Mine is 684.12 I have no idea of it's value since I bought mine second hand in 1978 for $80 from a friend.
