#90- ca.1970's Ibanez Double Neck Gibson Copy






Made in Japan. A Gibson Jimmy Page copy. Ibanez made several copies in the 1970's until Gibson persued a lawsuit against them for copyright infringement. Thus the 70's was dubbed the "Lawsuit Era" for these Ibanez copies. Good quality copies, but not near as good as the original Gibson's. During this time Ibanez made several copies using various names to avoid getting caught by the Gibson team of attorney's. This one was refinished when I purchased it. Previous owner also upgraded tuners to Sperzel locking tuners and I believe the pickups were also upgraded. I paid $299. for this.
