japan les paul 1973

Hey guys,

I recently came across an Ibanez Les Paul custom copy from the early 70s. It has ebony fretboard and set neck. No logo though. What do you think it's worth? :scratch:

I'd say maybe $300 to $500 ?

The thing is this though, HOW DOES IT SOUND AND PLAY ? If it is of the quality that the mid '70's to mid '80's Japanese guitars are (Ibanez, Greco, Tokai, etc) and if it is easily substantiated the guitars ORIGIN (JAPAN), then I think it is definately worth a decent amount.

I was not able to find out. The guitar was sold pretty quickly. Although the price was significantly lowered after I let the owner know that Ibanez without an Ibanez logo is not Ibanez. :-)
