Neck through body. Those are standard gibson pickups. They are what the amp maker had laying around when he sold it. When I played the guitar in his shop it had a real set of late '50s PAFs in it. Those are worth their weight in gold so they were replaced with the ones you see when the guitar was sold.
Its not an Ibanez. They did make some great Gibson copies and were sued by Gibson. Negative on the Samick, Hamer, Orville, Epiphone, Yamaha, Vantage guess.
Some hints:
Spec on the guitar is very close to a '58 Les Paul. Probably closer than some of the Gibson reissues. It's a Japanes guitar. The flame you see on the top is a very thin veneer on top of a two piece maple top. This company was also sued by Gibson. And Fender, FWIW.
This is a lower end model. The quality is astounding. Aside from the historic custom shop Gibson R series guitars I would own one of these before any standard production Les Paul. I sold an Alpine White Les Paul Custom to pay for this one and Id do it again if I found another for sale.
keep guessing
