Oldest Vintage IBANEZ MODEL 645 Acoustic Guitar 1974 | eBay

Caught the eye of the Hans Moust of Ibanez. Chazmo used to post on this forum!


Dear seller,

I'm Gemberbier a.k.a. Ginger Beer from the Ibanez Collectors World forum.
I've been researchting serial numbers of acoustic Ibanez guitars, since they used different systems for them than for the electric guitars, and because I was the guy who discovered the first 1974 serial number in an Ibanez guitar.

I looked at would you wrote in your description and discovered that you are the virtual world record holder now (that's for the time being of course, because I'm convinsed that there are more 1974 guitars out there).
Will you share the COMPLETE serial number with us? And if possible a picture of the serial #?
It looks kind of silly that the serial number of world record holder is incomplete.

Here's the list:

I have an old Tokai dreadnaught that’s actually pretty good. I think they made the Sigma guitars for a short period before production went to Korea.

This is my 1981 Ibanez M-340, made in Japan. Nicely constructed & in-near mint condition. It features one of my favorite headstock designs, along with the paddle-style Guild Chesterfield (of course!):

I was playing a bunch of CSN in DADDAD on an old D-28 yesterday then picked up the maple bodied Madeira.
