Oh dear Orville by Gibson mij Les paul

Flying on pain killers just Received email from the owner I emailed him months ago. And somehow my email ended up in his spam, yes he still has it. Yes it has the K sticker on back headstock serial # is legit. It’s a terada Gakki manufactured in 89, nitro finish long tenon $600 asking price as in pictures it has severe belt rash and someone put a bigsby trem then removed it filled in the holes.

It’s quality I discovered mij guitars in west Germany as kid in army. And the quality is amazing puts Nashville gibby to shame with their corporate greed. Not knocking Gibson owners I have one in the herd a 95 Les standard bought it used because one it was sweet unplugged and plugged in it just oozes sustain and then roll off the pots and it’s sweet and yes I know we can argue the long to short neck tenon until the cows come home.

But the 95 had long neck tenon that’s what I prefer dammit I’m a dapper dan man when it comes to deep neck tenons, I prefer deep tenons as my japan Les Pauls have them. Apologies my Cohen brothers is showing. Should I go and play it do I really need it not really but it is from the custom shop line line and this gentleman is in college. And if it sounds sweet unplugged and then plugged the price is Wright.
