Just bought it yesterday I saw it and thought do I need another guitar no then changed my mind glad I did
Made in the Ibanez factory same model as Ibanez 2375 if you wanted 1000 guitars they would put any name on the headstock then it could be sold without being an Ibanez dealership.
Mann, Mansfield etc
These pictures do not do it justice looks much better also its never need played, just like it left the factory, still has 3-way switch, tremolo and 7.25 radius Jumbo frets that I love, the case is worth $150 cad

Notice on the last picture it is sandwiched 2 pieces glued together not sure of the reason could be able to use cheaper wood or be able to pick the best sides front and back, no bad side but I suspect the former.
On the headstock, it says Laro never heard of it. I will take it apart later and try and date it definitely the lawsuit era.
The bad it does not sound very good volume on 10 is not loud and pups need raising will replace volume cap, he said very low output pups should be an easy fix
they are alnico pups
