Vintage Ibanez , help with recognize

[RRR]

Hello, arrived to my hand an old guitar, the person who gave it to me claimed it Ibanez Les Paul mij 1976. The problem is that there is no write on the guitar, no name, symbol or serial number. Not under the pickups too. the person claimed that the writing erased with time.

My questions are, is indeed the inscription could be erased with this model?

If so, how can I be sure that this guitar is original ibanez?

Look for the color and the maple top... is this a vintage Ibanez?

thank you.

... if there is no brand name Ibanez on the head IT IS NO IBANEZ, quite simple, I remember Ibanez published a comment concerning this theme somewhere (I'll post it when I find it ...) And, as far as I know Ibanez used open book head stocks in 1976 (the reason why there was the famous "law suit" that never made it to any court )

Judging from the catalogs, the 1976 Ibanez Les Paul's had inlaid logo's in the headstock and I'm not sure they were available in that particular finish.

I don't think your guitar is an Ibanez unfortunately...
