Description: Vintage Early 1970s Made In Japan Lawsuit Guitar From an estate and being sold as-is. Took it to a guitar store and tested that it does turn on and play. "A Japanese lawsuit guitar is a copy of a classic guitar, such as a Gibson Les Paul or Fender Stratocaster, that was produced in Japan during the 1960s–1970s. The term "lawsuit era" refers to the time when Japanese brands like Ibanez, Greco, Takamine, Fernandes, and Burny began making these replicas. Lawsuit guitars were made to compete with the rising prices and declining quality of brand name guitars. Although they were often made with cheaper materials and only resembled the originals visually, by the mid-1970s, some of these guitars were rivaling or even surpassing the originals. The term "lawsuit" specifically refers to the Ibanez Les Paul replicas with the "open book" headstock. The Gibson company sued Ibanez over the similarity of the headstock to their own Les Pauls, but the case was settled out of court. As a result, Ibanez revised the design of their headstocks and overall guitar construction, which greatly improved the quality of their guitars."
