Exclamation 1976 Ibanez Lawsuit Les Paul Copy

Sign in to disble this ad
Just don't need this sitting around the house anymore and could use the cash. She's a 1976 Ibanez Les Paul copy. As you can see, she's not mint or museum quality. She's a player. Some pitting, etc on the hardware (but it's functional).

Neck is straight, although it has thin strings on it right now and could use a thicker set as there is a little buzzing and it didn't buzz when a thicker set was on. Could not hurt for her to get a setup too.

Original electronics. Pots pickup selector and input jack work great. Although there is a noticeable difference in volume between the output of the neck pickup and the bridge pickup. The bridge pickup is a good bit weaker. Not sure if it's the pickup itself, the height, the wiring or a combination of the three.

Has her share of dings and some chips (as seen in the photos). But she's a very well built instrument and a cool piece of lawsuit ear history. $449 and she's yours. I've seen many of these selling for $600 - $850ish, so it seems like a bargain.

Comes with a gig bag and will be packed well. Hit me up now as this is headed to Craigs and Evil Bay at a much higher price VERY soon!!!!

Although this is not quite the correct venue or forum for a guitar, I figured that some bass players may also play guitar or may know a guitarist in search of one of these old, rare gems at a very reasonable price (below market value).

I'll give it another day or two and then she goes off to Craigs and/or Evil bay.

I think I'd be very happy had I stocked my studio and gigging rig with nothing but instruments I've seen put up for sale by you, Quad. You always have the goods. Nice LP.

Bump for a great deal and seller, if this is anything close in sound and quality to my Ibanez Artist from the same era, then this thing rocks. Wish I needed it.

And Quad, thanks again for the best P-bass ever, Ive got a line out the door of people who are sweatin' it, it's become my main bass (Sunburst 82 Squier)
