Here are my MIJ "lawsuit" guitars . Took me awhile to come across both but glad I was patient and kept on it.

Ibanez 2365 (no name on headstock though). I made a truss rod cover and found some appropriate knobs on ebay.

Greco RG-80
One prior owner ditched the original Truss Rod cover and made a Ric copy with clear plexi and a photo copy placed underneath. Another owner added actual Ric pickups. I have since added new knobs and a Bigsby via a vibramate. I used one made for Telecasters but ditched the tele bridge part. I found the Reverb sale that brought it to the US while doing a google search for more info.

I'm seeing this only three years after you posted ;D But glad to see another 2365 here.

I got this about a month ago its so fun to play. It's set neck. I am still sort of tinkering with it to get it playing perfect but its pretty close.

A japanese law suit black beauty is a bucketlist guitar for me.

Tell me, how's the neck? Is it fat? Are the frets low a wide like a "fretless wonder?"
If it wasn't for disappointment, I wouldn't have any appointments.

The neck is pretty chunky which I like because I have big hands. The frets are pretty wide yes.

My friend just had this guitar in her basement for years and never played it. She knew I liked it so out of the blue she just gave it to me. I have been looking for one of these forever as well. Pretty wild.

Because its been sitting for a while it needs some work to get it back to awesome but thanks to COVID I basically almost never leave the house so I have something to do at least.

That is so cool! Lucky you. There's something so slyly rebellious about having a ripoff version of Gibson's most decadent flagship guitar. Even better if it's Japonese. It's hard to explain, but easy to appreciate. Congrats.
