Epiphone by GIBSON Les Paul '59 AA 1998 Korea - Icetea Flame - Japan Import

Epiphone by Gibson LPS, Les Paul '59 Icetea Flame, "AA" top.

Simply magnificent, the top is superb, AA quality maple.

Made in 1998, in Korea, in the "Fine Guitars" workshops = the best luthiers, the best woods, etc.

Note: depending on the viewing angle, the flame pattern on the top changes its appearance, magnificent. A model made for the Japanese market.

The "By Gibson" years were Epiphones produced under license from Gibson, with very rigorous specifications. The best series were exported to Japan (at that time, excellent trade relations existed between South Korea and Japan). They offer excellent value for money and, rightly so, are increasingly sought after. Incomparable to current series made in China.
