You're not supplying enough information to be more specific. Can you upload a picture of the guitar? If you have a digital picture file but can't upload it, send it to my email address and I'll post it.

Otherwise, go to Harry and Hasy's site and look through their archive of catalogs. Here's the URL:

Hi Jorg!

What you have here is a model 2350 CS. It's missing the scratchplate and the two knobs left are probably not the originals too. The bridge pickup looks strange to me too, but that could be due to the flashlight reflection. Could you send a close-up of that pickup to be sure?
Your Les Paul has no serial number and the old open-book headstock, so it is made before august 1975 when Ibanez guitars started having serial numbers. The model 2350 CS was launched in the 1973 catalogue, so your guitar was made between 1973 and aug. 1975.
Kind greetz,

Hi...
That bridge pickup is not original. It's crome finished and all other parts are gold. So...guitar is very easy and nice to play. Sound is very "warm". Scratchplate... Hmm...I forgot to put it back after polishing...
Tuners are shitty. Need to change it...
Do u have any hint what is "real value" of this guitar.
Here in Finland, I think at this is very exeptional cos' I don't seen any since 1990.

Cheers..

Hi Jorg

The value of your guitar will be around 350 US dollars. You may not see them very often in your country, but in fact it is a very "common" model that pops up very often on Ebay etc.
Kind greetz,
Harry
