Ibanez Mandolins

[mandosonthemarsh]

Does anyone have any information about Ibanez mandolins, specificlly the 514 A style of the 1970's. Interested in what country it was made and type of wood. I have been having trouble finding information on the net. Thanks, Bruce.

http://ibanezmandolin.com/ has extensive information. I have one of the 521 A-style, see http://ibanezmandolin.com/ibanez-mandolin-models/model-521/, the site does not list any 514.

I'm having the same problem with my Ibanez mandolin. It is a late seventies early eighties 513 F model with a closed scroll. I would like more info as well. Thanks...Terry
