Ebay Item #150150965597

I'm posting this here because the discussion of late is that the Crestwoods are, at minimum, Fuji Gen guitars and possibly a Hoshino brand. This one looks sweet and for just $450, a deal. If I were a jazz player, this would be mine.

That's a 2355M model. Exactly like mine (which is from 1976), but with the open book headstock, so probably 1975.
I made a scan of the original pickguard next to a cm/inch ruler.

Phatphred bought a Bradley 2355m last year. It is remarkable for how little money the non-Ibanez guitars go. If this one said Ibanez on the headstock it would sell for €750-1,000 PLUS (that's €900-1.150 minus missing pickguard and case.)
[€1 = $1.365 today, but that fluctuates like ••••]

I believe Phatphred paid $530.- or something, I believe he got a pickguard. Don't know about the case.
