If you’re looking for a vintage 1970s guitar with some history, then check out this lawsuit copy of the Gibson Les Paul Custom made by Crestwood in Japan. This guitar is an example of one of the many Japanese “lawsuit era” copies of famous Gibson instruments in the 1970s when guitars and rock music were in ultra-high demand. The Japanese manufacturer, Guyatone, produced electric guitars for major guitar manufacturer Suzuki. Badged guitars produced by Guyatone included Crestwood,
among many others. So, we have a production link from Suzuki, to Guyatone, to Crestwood. As far as mods, the tuners have been ungraded to locking Sperzels. The electronics cavity looks untouched. Frets are excellent. Great looking guitar that plays fantastic!

DESCRIPTION:
• MADE IN JAPAN (1970s), serial number 019799
• Solid, single cutaway body with natural finish.
• 22 fret bound maple fingerboard.
• Two volume knobs and two tone knobs, 2 Humbucking pickups, 4 hole rear neck plate inscribed “Made in Japan”.
