It was bought for me as a 21st birthday present by my first wife when we were dating. This would be in 1975 making my guitar 42 years old. It was recommended by the salesperson who swayed me away from an Epiphone model around the same price ($125.00 with hardshell case) saying the Epi were bought by a different company and are not as quality as before.
The guitar, in my opinion, sounds great but I am a self-taught hobbyist player. And it seems to sound better now than when it was new. The action is high. I never got around to setting it up. Yeah I know, 42 years? But it is playable and this was the only guitar I had for years so what did I know. Basically I learned on it that way.
The model number is 2846. There is also a number painted at the neck joint that you can see by looking inside the sound hole that reads 750812. I assume 75 is the year of make since that would coincide with when my ex bought it for me.
I also seen an Ibanez from the same year on an auction site that looks exactly the same, so I assume it was made by the same company as the History states
