Fairly decent LP copy originally

This is originally an ebony Aria Les Paul MIJ copy, from about 1978 or '79. I have owned it since about 1982. Refurbished and adapted it in many ways, Ibanez Artist humbuckers, Grover tuners, different bridge, recently new neck. Not a great guitar, but my first electric and so dear to me.
