So a buddy of mine hit me up maybe 10(?) years ago about one of these, I scrambled around and found out they were brought in by an American company from Japan in the 70’s…there were priced around $800 back then and would be right around $4k now.

His was and is one of the best guitars I’ve ever played. That thing is batshit crazy good. We’ve never even done a setup on it, just changed strings and we were completely reprehensive about that.

This one is:

OG 70s DiMarzios, TP bridge/tailpiece, OG brass nut, replaced with Orange drop caps and a new 3 way. Maple cap, Mahog body and neck, rosewood board and low frets.

This is a 70s Gibson sans price. I picked this up on Reverb for under a grand.

My friend Jake has one of these in clownburst.

If I find one in black, white, or another non furniture color i'm going to snag it immediately.

Completely under the radar, killer fucking guitars

My friend's absolutely hangs with norlin era LPs no problem

Right?! They’re all fuckin DISGUSTING, I haven’t ever played a bad one. They’re so sick, I’m glad dude lowered the price on this and took my offer.

They're pretty hard to find, and I think that's the only reason they have gone under the radar

Otherwise, one would have gotten into a youtubers hands and they would all be 5k

Bro, my guy walked into his local shop 10 years ago and bought his for $350 with a chainsaw case.

I couldn’t let this one get away for under a grand.
