A lovely Japanese Les Paul from Vantage with upgraded Seymour Duncan JB, finished in "Bright Cherry Sunburst".

 

From out of the mighty Matsumoku plant in early 1981 comes a Les Paul of refinement and considerable quality. There's solid mahogany underneath a carved birch top, two coil tapped humbuckers that include a Seymour Duncan JB at the bridge, along with the classic Matsomoku stock MMK-45 at the neck, upgraded Grover tuners and a rich dark rosewood fretboard laden with mother of pearl trapezoid inlays.

 

This is a guitar that plays and sounds exceptional for the diminutive price.

 

This guitar is offered in fair used condition with some bumps and blemishes commensurate with forty plus years in the game, including one ding to the top. The switch tip is also broken off but the switch works fine. There is also some fret wear, but there is still life left in them. As mentioned, it plays and sounds great.

 

It has also been treated to a full String Theory service that includes strings, fretboard treatment, action setting, electrics check and a deep clean.

 

Viewing is always advised and very welcome by appointment in our Bristol studio. Further pictures also available on request as well as a condition report. If purchasing unseen, please be aware that this is a pre-loved instrument and will have commensurate wear. Part exchanges are always considered. We're proud of the positive feedback earned on all selling platforms.
