Ibanez Concord "Humming Bird" Lawsuit Acoustic- MIJ, 1977

Great shape for an almost 50 Yr old guitar.  Small finish cracks in the face and a few pick marks (pictured) but the over all shape of the guitar is without neck separation and the solid spruce top is sound.
Included is a guitar bag.

ABOUT:
Ibanez 684 dreadnought, black, made in Japan at the Fujigen Gakki plant in 1978. The Concord Series was a selection of Martin and Gibson style acoustic guitar models made by Ibanez from 1974-80, Lots of folks talk about 'lawsuit gutiars', and there's a lot of misinformation around about that idea, but here we have it folks: this is a proper lawsuit guitar. There was basically only one proper lawsuit about the high quality copies of USA made guitars coming out of Japan, and it was Gibson's parent company Norlin in the ring against Ibanez's parent company in the USA, Elger, in Philadelphia in 1977.
