Approx 1973 Ibanez Jazz Archtop 2616. Highly Collectible! 50 years old. Flamed Maple Natural Look! It has a half century of dings and what looks like surface cracks. Priced a couple of hundred dollars under because of it. Has been that way since I bought it.
Plays very fast! Give the history a read online. Great guitar. Open to offers. No case but am selling a hard shell and soft gig bag that it would fit.I believe this is one of the lawsuit Gibson es-175 guitars and stop production in 77. Beautiful green double binding. Straight neck. Ready for a fresh set of strings. Let me know if you have questions. Thanks
