This is a Les Paul from Orville, a brand under Gibson in the 80s and 90s! At the time of its release, it was positioned between Gibson and Epiphone, with high-quality domestic production carried out at factories like Terada Gakki and Fujigen. Attention to detail was given to the choice of woods and assembly methods, establishing a reputation for quality as a brand directly related to Gibson.

The maple top of the body features a beautiful plain top grain that indicates the use of high-quality wood, even among the materials of that time. The mahogany used for the body back is also of high quality with a dense grain.

The neck adopts the slim tapered shape commonly seen in the 60s, and the neck-to-body joint utilizes the long tenon method found in Gibson's higher-priced models, showing attention to resonance.

The sound quality is very natural. It has output in the low range while the high range is clear without being too assertive. Despite the body's weight, it produces a light and pleasant sound.

It embodies the essence of "inheriting Gibson's DNA while embodying high-quality domestic production," making it a fitting piece for the Japan Vintage name.

Please note that the pickup cover is cracked and there are some dents and scratches on the sides.
