If it's a bucker, Ibanez had a 5 number code in the early/mid 70s (not sure of the time span). Manf code, followed by year, month, day of month. So, it could be:

1 = Manufacture Code (Maxon, etc.)
5 = 1975
6 = June
14 = Day in June

Could be something completely different too. If it has "Super 70" embossed in the frame as well, it's an Ibanez for sure.

Man....you know your pickup history.....Do you use any type of reference materials (e.g.,published books, websites, etc...). In other words...what do you do and/or where do you go to find info like this?
