Purchased from Mike & Mike guitar a few months ago. Absolutely crazy condition for a 33 year old guitar. One thing of note is that i'm sure of what the guitars life cycle was like but the diamond and headstock are a bit faded, probably from sitting by a window for a while. Tried to photograph it in the last photos.

Only mod i've done to the guitar is add Schaller strap locks to make sure it's nice and secure whenever being played.

Here's what the original listing said:

Up for sale, a 1991 Orville by Gibson Les Paul Custom in exceptional, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hangtag and a hardshell case. Differentiated from the standard Orville-branded instruments, the "Orville by Gibson" guitars represented the highest tier of Japanese construction, outfitted from the factory with USA Gibson pickups (in this case, a pair of early 490R/Ts). Made exclusively for the Japanese market and uncommon outside its country of origin, this Orville is an official Gibson-licensed guitar and a result of a partnership between Gibson USA and their Japanese distributor Yamano Gakki. Named after Gibson's founder, Orville Gibson, this long-since discontinued Orville model was crafted at the Terada factory.

A medium weight example at only 9lbs 4oz, this guitar features a solid mahogany body and neck, carved maple top, long tenon neck joint, and a dark, tight-grained rosewood fretboard. The 490R/T humbuckers faithfully channel the natural acoustic properties of the instrument, delivering a bridge pickup sound with equal parts clarity and growl, while the neck pickup has a bit more girth and fullness, perfect for soloing or clean passages where a mellow yet articulate sound is required. This Orville by Gibson Les Paul Custom has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and spot-on intonation.

The gloss Wine Red finish is framed by multi-ply binding, and cosmetic wear includes minor buckle rash central to the back, a bit of light pick scuffing and a few minor finish scratches on top at the lower bout, and a bit of additional light wear along the lower bout perimeter. The gloss on the neck profile is flawless.
