Does anyone have any information? Or any brands I can start hunting for that may be this guitar?

Hey deadsunsnick .
Japanese Les Paul copies are very difficult to ID since every manufacturer used essentially the same parts. The key to identifying yours is the unusual head stock inlay.
It looks 70's to me but it's really hard to know for sure. There are a few guys around that have studied the electronics on these instruments and can distinguish manufacturers but without opening it up, everything is just a guess.
