Hi guys,

I'm new to this board, so my question is probably a typical ignorants question. (I scanned this board, but couldn't find the info I was looking for.)
So here's the question: I'm considering to buy a left handed Ibanez Les Paul 1976.
Serial number: H762047. The original tuners are replaced with 'better' Ibanez tuners (whatever that might be).
Is there anyone out here that can give me all the specifications on this type of Ibanez? Or a site where I can find everything I would ever want to know about this guitar?
I hope the picture will come through alright:

Seems like a 2350L to me with pick up covers removed (or replaced pick ups) and harmon-o-matic bridge. Tuners are upgrades indeed.
Check Hasy and Harry's site www.ibanez-vintage-page.de for the catalogue specs.

Thanks.
Is it a good guitar? (I read the positive reviews on Harmony Central, but no one will ever tell his guitar is a piece of ....)

I know it is not polite to answer a question with a question but: do you think it is a good guitar?

I haven't seen and/or heard it yet.
So for now: I hope it's a good guitar.

Based on experience, a stock Ibanez of this model and year in good condition would be highly playable and have good tone. There are characteristics that some people would consider less-than-desirable, like using many layers of mahogany for the body, but as an owner of a similar guitar I can tell you a few things from experience: a good setup can easily make these guitars play better than a Gib$on. To me, the neck is way more comfortable. The stock Gotoh hardware is on par with U.S. made instruments.

Considering the cost of Les Pauls nowadays, I'd definitely consider buying a '70s Ibanez.
