    That looks like an Ibanez model from around the mid or late seventies, kind of a "many models" Gibson tribute. A friend of mine had one, and one night they had played a club in a small town, and when they were packing up to leave, the bass player's girl friend, who was mad at him for flirting with someone in the crowd, hid what she thought was his bass under a dumpster in the alley, in retaliation. Turns out she had the wrong instrument, and when they discovered it missing the next night, and she confessed her sin, the guitar was long gone. Three years later he walked into a club about 100 miles away, to listen to a band from a city about three hundred miles away, and their guitar player was playing his guitar. He had put a couple of very distinctive dings in it when he had it, and when he approached the guitar player, told him the story and described the damage, the fellow looked at the dings, said "Well, this is definitely your guitar," and just handed it to him. Whoever had found it under the dumpster had peddled it in another state, where the unsuspecting guitar player had purchased it just a few days after it had disappeared.

    As far as scrolls gone wild, that Ibanez is tame.
