I Have Just purchaced an Ibanez V300BS accousic guitar and there seems to be a lot of people who own these guitars but cannot find out anything about them. From the research I have done so far, They were made in the late 70's to early 80's, you can find the exact date of manufacture stamped on the neck block inside the guitar in yy/mm/dd format i.e. 780714 = 14th July 1974. If the model number has an S at the end i.e. V300BS this means that it is a solid top. Judging by the general appearance of the guitar I would say it was designed to replicate a 1970's Gibson J50 Deluxe.

I have since found out that the BS at the end refers to the finish of the guitar i.e. V300 = natural, V300BS = sunbrurst, V300BK = black, V300VL = Voilin finish (whatever that means!!)

Is it a two tone guitar? Two different woods back and front maybe?
