------------------------------
From Gibson's brand "Epiphone" comes the "Inspired by Gibson Custom" series, a collaboration with the original Gibson Custom Shop. This instrument is the "Inspired By Gibson Custom Tamio Okuda J-45," the second signature model from Epiphone for Tamio Okuda, who celebrated his 30th anniversary of solo music activities in 2024 and continues to lead the Japanese J-Rock scene. This is a like-new, beautiful used item that was just made in 2025. It features a thermally aged Sitka spruce top, mahogany sides and back, one-piece mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard and rectangular bridge with mother-of-pearl dot inlays, scalloped X-bracing, and L.R. Baggs VTC pickup. It also incorporates meticulously crafted specifications such as a 19-fret end and a single-ring rosette. The one-piece mahogany neck is joined to the body with a dovetail joint, just like a Gibson, and features a thick neck profile based on the 1945 Gibson J-45 favored by Tamio Okuda. You can enjoy the feel of a vintage Gibson. It features a "New Vintage Gloss" finish, which is slightly less glossy than a regular gloss finish. Combined with the "Washed Vintage Sunburst" which reproduces a slightly faded color, it has a look full of vintage texture. The pickguard is a classic tortoiseshell teardrop shape, which enhances the look of the J-45. Furthermore, the purfling around the soundhole is made of seven layers, just like the J-45 favored by Tamio Okuda, resulting in a meticulously crafted product that comes as close as possible to the original Gibson. Not only the look but also the sound is faithfully reproduced, with aged Sitka spruce producing a deep, rich tone, allowing you to experience a powerful and cohesive strumming sound. This guitar, equipped with a VTC pickup, is perfect for live performances and recordings. It's in excellent condition with minimal signs of use. Don't miss this opportunity to consider it!
