It’s visible now, is there anything on the back of the headstock?

nothing... but there is a "name" on the headstock like a woodcut...

My best guess on the year would be early to mid '70s. Ibanez in particular was making some copies that were deemed trademark infringments by the courts around 1975 - ish so later copies had altered headstock profiles and other changes. There were other companies as well, but Ibanez in particular was putting out some fairly nice ones. I have a Les Paul copy from that period that is pretty decent and plays great. You can tell it is a copy when you get close, but I'd play it out and the audience will never know. I love my Gibsons, but my Gib-San has it's own personality and charms as well. Good "player's axe" for not a lot of coin.

It might have pickups by Maxon.

Set neck or bolt on? And Ibanez in the early 70's used a 3 screw truss rod cover.

thank's a lot for your answer, i thought it could be an orville...because ibanez didn't put that kind of knob...

I looked at some Orvilles on Reverb and didn’t see the scarf joint…
