(Including New Strings, Intonation, Truss Rod adjustment and Action)Read our feedback and rest assured that The Dude Abides. Carefully crafted by the fine luthiers of the world famous Fuji-Gen factory in Japan, feast your eyes on this extra sweet Les Paul. It features a beautiful top with some figuring streaked around the top, long neck tenon, open book Gibson headstock, and solid mahogany body & neck making it similar to a '58 or '59 Les Paul reissue. There is a distinct flavor that is a true delight in the older Epiphone line that was produced in Japan, and this interesting piece is far from the exception. This is a true players guitar... the visual appeal will be appreciated by all and the musical flavor is just as sweet. The guitar is in phenomenal condition with minimal playwear. I could only find a ding on the bottom edge of the body and a super small nick on the top edge of the headstock. It seems to be seldom if ever played at all and is the definition of a closet queen. It radiates a cool, vintage-MOJO vibe and will feel like home once she's in your hands. Perfectly weighted and well balanced are the first impressions, and when your hand reaches the fretboard the next impression is that this girl has got it. Unplugged she displays characteristic woody timbre and clean, resonant twang that transfers tremendously when she is plugged in. Hooked up to an amp this Lester truly comes to life and really packs the nuanced grind and authoritative tone that makes the Custom the quintessential electric guitar sound of our times. The guitar has been professionally dialed in for immediate rocking, with a straight and clean neck, and un-tarnished hardware. Playability is outta sight with crisp, buttery action and smooth, accurate feel making this little lady hard to put down. The guitar has a nice, tightly grained rosewood board, and clean frets, proper functioning machines that hold tune perfectly, and clean saddles that provide precise intonation. This is a great opportunity to get up close and personal with a great piece that is easy on your hands, eyes, and bank account too. She's a real deal... An all around fantastic and sweet guitar.🔥 This guitar has been professionally set up and dialed in for optimal tone and playability.

However:- You must notify us in writing within 3 days of delivery (per tracking) of your intent to return.- Original shipping and return shipping costs are not refunded unless the guitar is damaged in transit or is significantly not as described (for example, you ordered red and got white, or a Telecaster instead of a Les Paul).- A 15% restocking fee applies to all returns for any reason other than damage in transit or significantly not as described. Please note that a 15% restocking fee applies to orders that have been purchased and paid for and have been off the market for 24 hours or more, even if they have not been shipped or picked up by the carrier, because we perform a final setup and change the strings as soon as an order is placed and paid for. NO EXCEPTIONS.We do our best to honestly describe and photograph every guitar and most of the noticeable imperfections. That said, we are human, and something very small can be overlooked. If tiny marks, dings, or super fine scratches (normal wear) bother you, please don't buy.We record demo videos of every guitar before shipping to document its exact condition and performance. Additional photos, measurements, or in-hand descriptions are available upon request prior to purchase.Minor adjustments to a setup (for example, correcting a slight buzz or a truss rod tweak) are normal after shipping, due to carrier mishandling and climate and atmospheric changes, especially when moving from South Florida to colder or less humid environments. These slight issues do not constitute "significantly not as described." Guitars must be returned in the exact same condition as received/advertised, or additional repair/restocking fees will apply.We are a small, family-owned and family-run business, not a big-chain retailer. We invest significant time, money, and effort into every guitar. This is a NO TIRE-KICKING shop. There is no post-purchase haggling, and there are no returns without restocking fees and no partial refunds. If minor cosmetic marks, tiny imperfections, odors/smells, or the possibility of a post-shipping setup tweak makes you uncomfortable, please do not buy.
