Open Book ~ Made in Japan: A Hidden Gem Among LP-Style Guitars
A rare Les Paul Standard produced for only a short period. Featuring a maple top and mahogany back, along with a deep-joint set-neck construction, it delivers a rich, full-bodied tone with excellent sustain.

Featuring an Open Book headstock, its look evokes the direct lineage of Gibson guitars. Combined with the meticulous craftsmanship typical of Japanese-made instruments, this guitar stands out for its practicality and exceptional build quality.
There is some paint chipping on the tip of the headstock, the sides of the body, and parts of the body top.
There are other signs of wear, including scratches, dents, and some discoloration or rust on parts.
The pickguard is missing.
The truss rod on the neck is at its limit; the neck is warped, and the lower frets are partially bowing backward,
resulting in a slight buzz when played with force.
