Ibanez Les Paul Standard Copy J760386 Japan Guild Headstock Pre-Law Suite OHSC Nice 1976 Tobaco

Ibanez Les Paul Standard J760386 Japan Guild Headstock Pre-Law Suite OHSC Nice, I have had this Guitar for Many Years, and for about 30 of those Years, it has sat in the Closet or under the Bed. I currently use Gibson Les Paul's, so this will be my point of reference for this Listing. This Guitar has a Bolt on Neck, standard for the Time made, it has Gold Finished Hardware, which has plenty of wear again for the time Produced, Super 70 PUP's. From what my Research shows, this Guitar was made in the Hiroshima Plant, in October of 76. It is the 386th Instrument to come out of that Plant in October of 1976. Plays very well, but I do prefer a Wider Neck, and this one seams to be to Narrow for me.

Now, we hear the Term Pre-Law Suite thrown around quite a bit, but here is the Truth on the Mater. The Law Suite Gibson Filed was based on the Mustache Like Head stock of the Gibson Guitars. This Guitar has the Guild Headstock, but the Law Suite was not Filed until June of 77.  

"On June 28, 1977, Norlin, the parent company of Gibson, filed a lawsuit against Elger (Ibanez) in Philadelphia Federal District Court"

So, even though this Guitar was not what this Law suite was Based on, it is a Pre-Law Suite Guitar. It does have the Les Paul Standard Body Design, the same Pick-Up, and Stop Tail Piece. The Two Tone and Volume Knob Configuration, as well as the Pick-Up Selector Switch. Real Collectors are in tuned to these Differences, but some how the Value of the Ibanez Les Paul Standard with the Guild Head Stock Pre-Law Suite Guitars are still very sought after.

I did not add a Buy It Now, I would like to see how it does in auction, but if you have a good Offer, and there are no BID's. I will surely Consider.

Buy this Instrument, Pay for it, Look for it at your Door Step,

It is that Easy,
