Up for sale, a 1995 Orville Les Paul Custom “Black Beauty” model LPC-75 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Produced exclusively for the Japanese domestic market and uncommon outside of 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 discontinued Orville model was crafted at the Fujigen factory.

This LPC-75 weighs 9lbs 1oz, featuring the tonewood combination of a mahogany body, carved maple top, mahogany neck, and bound rosewood fretboard. The humbuckers are crafted in the low-wind PAF mold, both metering at 7.1k ohms, delivering smooth trebles, spongy lows, and a touch-sensitive response, with vital and distinct sounds at each position on the three-way pickup selector switch. This Les Paul Custom LPC-75 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
