1970's Ibanez Concord 647, (Used)
The Ibanez Concord 647 is a vintage dreadnought acoustic guitar produced in Japan during the early 1970s. It features a solid spruce top with mahogany back and sides, delivering a warm, resonant tone characteristic of dreadnought-style acoustics. The body is finished in a high-gloss natural lacquer, highlighting the wood grain and providing a classic aesthetic. The guitar's design is notably influenced by Fender's Kingman model, featuring a similar body shape and headstock, which contributed to the "lawsuit" era designation due to its resemblance to Fender's designs.
The neck is constructed from a single piece of mahogany, providing stability and a comfortable playing experience. It is fitted with a rosewood fingerboard adorned with pearloid block inlays. The scale length measures approximately 25½ inches, and the nut width is around 43 mm, offering a comfortable spacing for chord transitions. The bridge is also made of rosewood and features adjustable saddles, allowing for precise action adjustments.
Hardware includes die-cast tuners with chrome plating, ensuring reliable tuning stability. The guitar's design and craftsmanship reflect the high standards of Japanese manufacturing during the 1970s, a period renowned for producing quality instruments at accessible price points. While specific production numbers are not documented, the Concord 647 remains a sought-after model among vintage acoustic guitar enthusiasts for its tonal qualities and historical significance.
