I have a Navarra Les Paul Custom, which is exactly the same guitar as my Ibanez Les Paul Custom that I purchased in Melbourne as a teenager in 1974. Prior to 1974 Nippon Gakki were making Gretsch, Fender and Gibson copies with no badge on the headstock. Suddenly the same guitars seemed to appear with brand names like Ibanez, and the no-names disappeared. I have an Ibanez Gretsch Country Gentleman copy from that era with the word Ibanez in the form of a metal badge screwed onto the headstock, as if they'd just grabbed some Gakki stock and slapped a name on. I suspect all those guitars were made in the same factory. They were great copies back in the day, and now the wood is 50 years old, so yes they are good.
