By the way I'm not selling it but you would be the best person to ask much it might be worth. To be honest I'm just over the moon to say I now own a vintage Ibanez Jnp Username: Jnp Registered: 06-2005 Posted on Monday, April 03, 2006 - 8:48 am:    well it looks like I spoke too soonnnn... oh well back to the searching Bigmike Username: Bigmike Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Monday, April 03, 2006 - 1:05 pm:    Jnp, It's a copy of a Les Paul Recording model - low impedence pickups, switching options and all. Is it a setneck or bolt on ?? I have an autographed photo of Les Paul playing a flametop LP with low impedence pickups... One thing for sure Les did something unusual to all his guitars.

BigMike, that particular guitar is a 1980 Les Paul Heritage Elite, with "some modifications"...

It's a shot of Les and his band at some club Les is a reglar at in NYC. Les' rhythm player is holding a black Custom and Les has this monster LP with low impedence pickups, four knobs in a straight line. The top is GORGEOUS !! Harry Username: Harry Registered: 03-2001 Posted on Tuesday, April 04, 2006 - 5:01 am:    Hi all! Hey guys....back to the topic! Jnp put in something about a guitar he bought and shows us some pictures. He says he's "over the moon" to say he now owns a vintage Ibanez. Hate to disappoint him and sure hope this will not make his landing on Earth too painful....But have a look at the headstock inlay, see control plate and switches.....THIS IS DEFINITELY NO IBANEZ! It's Japanese allright and from the seventies too, but it's very doubtful to even say it could be Hoshino made. What are your thoughts on this? Kind greetz, Harry Dave_g Username: Dave_g Registered: 01-2002 Posted on Tuesday, April 04, 2006 - 7:51 am:    Doesn't the model number LE-200 look like an Aria number ? Bigmike Username: Bigmike Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Tuesday, April 04, 2006 - 2:04 pm:    Well Harry I'm stumped - it's a pretty decent replica of the Les Paul recording.... JNP: how does it play ?? BigMike Jnp Username: Jnp Registered: 06-2005 Posted on Sunday, April 09, 2006 - 8:31 am:    Hey guys thanks for the responses, I have no idea what this thing is. By about the 3rd of april I'd figured out that it wasnt Ibanez. I initially bought it and took it to a used guitar dealer and he was the one that said it was intially Ibanez. A bit of searching showed me otherwise. Heres a picture of a Bucks & Ricket that a guy on the Bossarea forum found for me. But mine has a 4 bolt neck. So I'm stumped. http://www.vintage-guitars.se/1970s_Bucks&Ricket_LP_Recording_copy.htm My guitar has Maxon pickups and a plywood neck... I really am about to give up. As for playing I dont know yet. It has a few wiring problems. which at this stage I think I can narrow down to the input jack plug.
