► Product Overview

1999 Epiphone Japan LPC-80 Les Paul Custom in Ebony - Made in Japan / Fujigen / JDM

A genuine slice of late-90s Japanese Les Paul craftsmanship. The Epiphone 
Japan LPC-80 was built exclusively for the Japanese Domestic Market between 
1998 and 2002, manufactured at the legendary Fujigen Gakki factory under 
license from Gibson and managed by Yamano Gakki. These were the direct 
successors to the Orville by Gibson line, and they carried over the same 
build philosophy: real Gibson-style open-book headstock, long neck tenon, 
multi-ply binding, and serious build quality you cannot find on any 
Korean or Chinese Epiphone.

Today, LPC-80s are increasingly hard to find outside Japan. With only a 
four-year production window and domestic-only distribution, the supply 
in the international market is naturally limited.

== WHY THIS GUITAR ==
The LPC-80 represents one of the best-kept secrets in the Japanese 
guitar world. Built at Fujigen during the same period as Orville by 
Gibson production, with the same long-tenon construction and Gibson-spec 
headstock, this is a true player-grade Les Paul Custom with vintage 
mojo. The Ebony finish with gold hardware delivers the classic "Black 
Beauty" aesthetic that defined Les Paul Customs from the late 50s 
onward, and the weight (4.6 kg) suggests a meaty, resonant tone block.

Whether you're a Les Paul collector looking for a quality Japan-built 
piece, a player wanting that long-tenon feel without paying Gibson 
prices, or simply a fan of late-90s MIJ craftsmanship, this LPC-80 
deserves a serious look.
