A model embodying the quintessential Les Paul style, crafted with Japanese quality.
This Japanese-made model, known as an Epiphone Japan model, features a headstock shape identical to Gibson's. It follows the long-standing lineage after Orville, with a short production run and limited availability. While the serial number pattern is unclear, it was likely manufactured around the year 2000.
Features a maple top & mahogany back, with a mahogany neck using a deep joint specification. The rosewood fingerboard employs thicker frets and is finished with overbinding. The pickups are original, but all pots have been replaced with CTS units. The nut has also been replaced.
A battle-ready instrument combining thick, Les Paul-like midrange, rich sustain, and stable playability. Its precision, characteristic of Japanese-made instruments, is also appealing.
Exhibits some exposed wood from paint loss, repair marks, and a crack in the jack plate.
Overall, it shows signs of use with scratches, dents, and some dullness on the metal parts.
The neck shows no significant issues, and the playing condition is fine.
Condition Grade: B+: Some scratches present, but no issues for normal use.
