 IBANEZ | | ELECTRIC: EARLY NUMBERED MODELS | | Ibanez numbered all of their early guitars typically with a four digit number. Often times, the same guitar/numbered was used in a series and switched to another one later. It is very difficult to group these into a series, unless they were exclusive to that series. The following models are listed by the number that they were cataloged by (this number will not appear on the guitar anywhere) and the brand/style of guitar that the Ibanez was modeled after (almost all Ibanez's during this period are copies). Please keep in mind that this is the first go-around on these early models, and more information will added in further editions. Source for model information: "Ibanez - The Untold Story," and old factory catalogs. | | 1910 YAMAHA SA-30 | | - semi-hollow symmetrical double cutaway SA-30 style, two f-holes, body binding, bolt-on neck, 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with a round end, three-per-side tuners, adjustable bridge, vibrato tailpiece, raised black pickguard, four knobs, three-way switch, chrome hardware, available in Red Sunburst finish, mfg. 1971-73. |
