Vintage 1970s Eros Mark II MIJ Les Paul Style Guitar Copy w Case~Cherry Sunburst Finish~SHE'S A LOOKER!

ITEM:

This vintage 1970s Eros Mark II is like many of the vintage guitars made by Eros during the 1970s. It is styled with a very thin single cutaway mahogany body and mahogany neck that is reminiscent, stylistically, of a Gibson Les Paul and similar models it was attempting to copy. The mahogany neck has a rosewood fretboard with 22 frets and mother of pearl block inlays. While it looks like it has 2 humbucking pick ups, this guitar has two single coil pickups that are covered to look like humbuckers. There are two volume knobs and two tone knobs to round out the cherry sunburst finish on the guitar.

SOME HISTORY:

Eros instruments (styled as E-Ros in the early days) were originally made in Recanati, Italy by the Fuselli Brothers of the Fratelli Fuselli Company. By the late 1970s, they began importing their guitars from Japan and styled them after popular Fender and Gibson guitar models. Based on our research, this guitar looks to be late 1970s.
