Orville by Gibson LPS-QM MIJ 1993 Terada Highest Grade Solid Quilt Maple Top w/ Gibson Case

This is the Orville by Gibson LPS-QM, manufactured in 1993 by Terada Gakki, based on the serial number. It was the top-of-the-line model of its time, featuring a solid quilted maple top. As a higher-end model that rarely appears on the market, this is a great opportunity for anyone who has been searching for one.

Specifications:
Quilted maple top / mahogany back, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, and early ’57 Classic pickups.

Weight:
Approximately 4.0 kg

Condition:
As shown in the photos, there are scratches and signs of use consistent with its age. There is also some deterioration in the neck binding. However, before listing, the guitar was professionally serviced by a skilled repair technician, including fret leveling and a full setup, so it is ready to play upon arrival. That said, the frets do show wear, and in my personal opinion, about 60% of fret life remains. Also, the lettering on the headstock has faded.

Accessories:
It comes with a sturdy Gibson hard case, which is also a valuable and desirable case in its own right.

Please note that this is a used item.

There are no issues with its current functionality, but please understand that you may need to make further adjustments after purchase to suit your preferences.
