Copy of a Les Paul Special. Sunburst solidbody with single cutaway and a _set neck_, no laminated top. It has two P90 Single Coil Pick Ups, two tone two volume potis, 3-way switch. Fat D shaped Mahagony neck. The bridge is a non adjustable stop tailpiece (Les Paul jr. style). As the bridge is non adjustable you'll have to use Strings with a wound G-String. If you do so it can be brought to perfect intonation in the 12th fret. Build in 1976.

The sound of those P90s is just great. Strong mids and warm highs. Played it over an JTM-60 Combo and an Vox AC-15. Great Rock'n Roll sound. Wouldn't trade it against an Gibson. The Neck pickup has a great tone with lots of bass but it dosn't sound muddy at all. The bridge pickup has a quite sharp sound like a mix between a tele and a les paul with pafs

Can't tell what it looked when it left factory for I bought it when it was already 29 years old. But it's in good condition except for the frets, which were quite worn out.
This isn't a cheap 80s Les Paul copy, with bolt on neck. This is great japanese Craftmanship

30 Years old and it got still the original hardware, the finish isn't worn off a bit, though it was played a lot. (Since the frets were down)

If it was stolen, I would break into tears. This is a quite rare piece especially in Europe, where there even arn't many Les Paul specials on the market. I got it for a killer price. It's my favourite Guitar. It is easy to play and I realy love the tone. Yeah tone it got lots of tone.
