Seems like a solid Mahogany body, Bolt on neck (pearl square inlays) with Gold Hardware.
2 Humbuckers, 4 Controls (2 Volume and 2 Tones).
Black Pickguard. 3-Way selector (in the "right" spot).
Passive electronics. Natural finish (dark brown wood).
Some funny binding inlays in the edge of the body (cupper plait, just like the oines used to suck up soldering iron).
Stop Tailpiece. Gibson scaled neck (i presume).

Kinda full rich tone, whit that Gibsonesque tone. Using EMG 81's in both positins, this IS Gary Moore!!!
Action, Fit, & Finish
:

Guitar was in a bad, bad shape when i got it (big chips losses in finish, and the plug-in where shuffed into the body, as if it where smashed into the floor. Pickups where dug into the body as far as they could go. Tuners where totally worn out. A piece of shit in either words...
Reliability/Durability

Turned it into a "workinghorse", by adding Jackson tuners, EMG's and soldering it all over. A new metalplate in the plug-in hole, saved the day. It'll run at least 25 years to go after a nivce fretleveling and some new Oiling :)

This is a good Les Paul Copy, whit it's own life. Steady workhorse and easy to adjust.
