2015 History TH-LS LDB “Lemon Drop Burst” — Made in Japan

Fujigen-built History single-cuts are among the Japanese guitars we keep coming back to—and picking up to play. For anyone considering a quality Tokai, Greco, or Gibson Les Paul-style guitar, the higher-tier History models deserve to be part of the conversation.

This 2015 TH-LS features a lacquer-finished body, Heritage Wood neck, vintage-voiced humbuckers, and a richly ambered Lemon Drop Burst finish. It's an exceptionally well-preserved example, complete with a brand new Gator hard case.

Condition

Excellent overall condition with very few signs of prior use. The primary cosmetic blemish is a small scuff near the lower side of the neck around the 12th fret adjacent to the binding, as pictured. The mark is not noticeable while playing and does not affect feel or function. The truss rod cover and rear control cavity covers still have factory protective plastic film installed. Brand new Gator LP-style hard shell case included.

The neck is straight, the truss rod functions properly, and the frets show minimal wear with plenty of life remaining. Electronics function properly. The top, back, hardware, plastics, and headstock all present very cleanly for a 2015 lacquer-finished instrument.

A thorough multi-point inspection and professional setup have been completed including truss rod adjustment, fretboard conditioning, accurate intonation, pickup height adjustment, hardware inspection, and fresh strings. A new set of 10-46 roundwound strings has been installed.

Please inspect and test used/vintage items promptly upon delivery.

Professor's Notes

There's a reason we keep coming back to Fujigen-made History guitars. This TH-LS has the construction, finish work, and playing feel we look for in a serious Japanese single-cut, with a full lacquer body finish and vintage-voiced pickups that suit its character particularly well.

It has a confident, articulate response, with plenty of warmth and authority without sounding overly compressed or aggressive. It's a particularly satisfying example of what Fujigen was building for History in this period.

Description

Built by Fujigen for Shimamura's History brand, the TH-LS represents a higher-specification Japanese take on the traditional Les Paul-style single-cut.

Its construction includes a mahogany body with carved flame maple top, lacquer-finished body, set mahogany Heritage Wood neck, rosewood fingerboard, and Fujigen's C.F.S. (Circle Fretting System). The factory History FH-10D humbuckers are voiced toward traditional sounds, emphasizing clarity and articulation rather than modern high-gain response.

Heritage Wood is History's designation for reclaimed timber sourced from the Great Lakes region of North America. It's an unusual material detail that distinguishes this model from more conventional Japanese single-cuts.

The Lemon Drop Burst finish has a rich amber-orange character rather than the paler yellow sometimes associated with the name. Combined with the figured maple top, cream plastics, dark rosewood fingerboard, and transparent red back, it gives the guitar a classic, mature appearance.

For players exploring high-quality Japanese alternatives to familiar Gibson, Tokai, and Greco single-cuts, this TH-LS is well worth considering on its own merits.
