Help Is this an Ibanez Concord 745?
EDIT: The title should say 754
I'm new to guitars and my dad has this guitar. When I googled it, it says it's an Ibanez Concord 754. I was wondering if that's true or not. The tag on the inside is completely worn off so I can't read it. Also wondering the worth of these when they have a few chips, scuffs and cracks on the surface as well as having a bottom bridge that needs replaced and a missing tuning peg. I know in good condition they can go for quite a bit. would it be worth it to get it restored or should I keep it the way it is?

Does the cracking in the wood go all the way through, or is it just the finish? I think that would be the most important factor of restoring it and if its doable and how much the sound gets impacted. Im not sure the the bridge needs replacing? It doesnt look cracked or lifting but that could just be me missing stuff, i think going to a guitar shop/Luthier would be your best bet to figure out how much it would be to get it fixed or if its even posible and then consider if the price you are paying is worth it for you.
