History ZSA-CFS , Fujigen Japan made , OHSC, Nice condition (Gibson ES-335 copy)

I have something really cool and rare and exquisite here. This is a Japan market Fujigen History ZSA here. This one comes with it's original hardshell case. The neck is comparable to a 60s ES-335 neck.

This guitar is in very good condition. With some light to average play wear that I will describe for you.

The body top shows one small surface scratch a thin one about an inch long near the Cutaway hole. I found a couple dot size surface indentations about the size of a pencil tip very tiny. Beyond that there's going to be very light surface swirling scattered here and there but I did not find any accumulated Sheen or build up of that. The body top looks quite nice.

The body sides/edges shows three minute surface scratches again about an inch or less in size very small thin surface marks. I did not find bumps and dings and indentations in this area.

The body back shows about a 2-in squared section on the lower central body back Of pattern playwear. I would describe it as a sheen of surface swirling. Not deep penetrating playwear like worming or the heavier playwear that I quantify as buckle rash. It's surface swirling but a built up pattern of it that will slightly satin the gloss finish in that little patch. Beyond that there will be scattered surface signs of use but no accumulation. And no notable describable singular marks. I did not find dings and bumps. More so there will be some minute tiny surface scratches or scattered swelling marks. There's a little bit of rubbing usage under the upper strap button. Overall as the pictures portray it looks very nice still back here the surface finish looks nice.

The neck looks nice as well. I found one very shallow surface indentation a line shaped one on the neck shaft. Hard to see and not felt while playing. I did not find any notable marks in that area nor on the headstock the headstock looks great. The frets look good. I can see in the lower most first few g&b frets also known as the cowboy chord area. A little bit of light fretwear. I would consider this the very beginning of fretwear.  Nothing that would affect playability. The frets are tall and meaty still. The fret ends are nice and rounded. With no fret sprout. And the binding looks great.

It plays great up and down the neck and has a typical dialed in sweet setup. The electronics are working perfectly and are stock. These are the original pickups you can take those stickers off if you want that's not a permanent logo they have stickers on the humbucker.

So this guitar rates and 8.5/10 and grades as very good. There are no major marks. Or signs of abuse. There are some minor marks. And a fairly shallow section of swirling pattern playwear on the body back. That is to the extent that you only really see that if you turn the guitar in the light to scrutinize it. It's not the overt deep type. The overall aesthetic and look of the guitar is very nice. It is structurally and sonically sound.

Now the guitar itself is a cool niche guitar even amongst the already rare and niche premium Japanese Les Paul Style guitar market. Fujigen is most well known here in the USA for the very well regarded (that still have a large cult following) Epiphone Elitist line. Many feel that has been the best value of all time on Gibson style build as they were commissioned by Gibson. This here is the Fujigen History model, which was a similar quality purely Japan market line of guitars. They are in my opinion, the best value for the cost available for a traditional guitar type like this. They compare very Nicely to a Gibson, and absolutely blow away typical "import" guitars like current Epiphones.

The craftsmanship, materials, and attention to detail put into this History ZSA are impeccable. The fret ends are amazingly detailed they use a proprietary process called CFS for that. It has a long tenon neck, bone nut, and similar construction to a vintage historic style Gibson ES guitar.

Note that this listing may come down at any time as I am a multi-platform seller and do sell locally and on my own Site as well in an effort to keep sales fluid. State sales tax will be charged on Reverb sales when applicable, so factor that into your purchase.

I will immaculately pack it as well. I use quality shipping boxes, ample tape on all sides. And sufficient bubble wrap filler and bracing inside the box. And always marked/denoted as fragile. I generally detune guitars 1/2 half step prior to shipment as well if needed.

Thank you for reading and considering!
