The story behind:
These beautiful ladies were made in Japan by a renowned and traditional guitar manufacturer (Fujigen & Terada) on behalf of Gibson and in cooperation with YAMANO-Gakki Music for the Japanese market according to Gibson's specifications from 1989 to 1998 as an answer to the very good Lawsuit guitars from Japan built. These guitars are the largely identical predecessors of the Japanese Epiphones, which were also only made for the Japanese market. Some say these Les Pauls are closer to the original Bursts than some Gibson Les Pauls nowadays.
