The 953 is a Vintage series acoustic guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 1976. It was crafted in Japan.
The 953 features a dreadnought body with a selected well seasoned fine grain spruce top on a bookmatched rosewood sides and back with wood marquetry inlay strip. The round soundhole is trimmed with the famous herringbone marquetry rosette and a fancy tortoise shell colored pickguard. The slim mahogany neck has a 21-fret rosewood fingerboard with pearl snow-flake position markers. Components include a compensated plastic saddle in an adjustable rosewood bridge with white bridge pins, a plastic nut, and chrome plated smooth tuner nylon housing machine heads.
