Rare, left-handed Japanese Epiphone Les Paul - Sunburst
$1,650
Built in 1999 at the legendary FujiGen plant in Japan. Not to be confused with the cheap mass-produced Korean/Chinese/whatever Epiphones you see in pretty much every guitar store, this was built to a very high quality.
She has the Gibson open book headstock, long neck tenon, '59 profile neck, and a really nice sunburst maple plaintop with some distinctive grain patterns giving it a nice '58 feel. No issues structurally or electrically. Neck straight, truss rod fine. A couple of the inlays have lifted slightly. Plenty of life left in the frets. No breaks or repairs etc, just a good vintage feel. A few paint chips & scuffs all over. The plastic pick-up rings have the usual cracks in, and the metal hardware is a bit dull with age (but should shine up well).
Pickups have been upgraded to Seymour Duncans, and the bridge humbucker can be split with a pull switch. Apart from that she is all original. I've removed the pickguard and for the life of me I can't find it, but hopefully it turns up before a buyer does.
Serial number: 911712 = Fuji-Gen / 1999 / November / unit 712 (https://www.mylespaul.com/threads/epiphone-serial-number-information.399730/)
Created for the Japanese market using all the famous American Gibson traits (open book headstock, Les Paul insignia, trapezoid inlays), these combined the Gibson history with Fujigen craftsmanship and were made to Gibson specs. These models are fairly uncommon outside of Japan, and the Fujigen models are usually the ones that stand out.
Comes with original gibson hard shell case.
Any questions just ask - offers considered. Pickup Yeronga, Brisbane. Will consider shipping at buyer cost.

- Les Paul Epiphone, electric guitarThis electric guitar has been used and loved since 2019, when I purchased it. It is an amazing guitar which makes the decision to sell hard but I have grown out of this look and am in the market for a new electric. This guitar is great for all and sounds amazing. It was last checked about a year ago with the output being replaced, a general clean, as well as new strings. The guitar itself has a few minor dents and scratches that are only visible when inspected closely but can be fixed easily bu$200NegotiableHolland Park West, QLD•21w
