There were a zillion LP copies put out in the 70's and early 80's. Not so much the 60's. Most were bolt neck with pressed, rather than carved, tops. Some came with name brands. Others were branded as requested by distributors or music stores. It is all but impossible to get definite info on them. Some are pretty good players. I would think a clean one that plays well in decent shape should be around $200.

...a zillion..?..more or less !
...and not to be forgotten the LP copy's with (from far...) simular "Gibson" brands , as this GAYA here .
A few LP copy's that come to my mind are a "Galson" (MIK) and a "Gibbon" ( MIJ) !!!
As I can see this one is a MIK too ?
