1997 Orville LPS-80F Foto Flametop – A Mojo Machine! 🎸  

Ready to rock with a vintage vibe? This 1997 Orville LPS-80F Foto Flametop is a tone-chasing dream come true! Sporting a gorgeous foto flame maple top that pops under stage lights, this Japanese-crafted beauty is dripping with mojo and playwear – every scratch and ding tells a story of epic gigs and soulful jams.  

Freshly refretted with brand-new frets, this axe plays like butter, with a professionally set-up that’s dialed in for lightning-fast riffs or soulful bends. The tone? Pure magic – warm, rich, and versatile, ready to sing through your favorite amp. Whether you’re shredding classic rock or laying down bluesy licks, this Orville delivers the goods.  The secret sauce is the UPGRADED Seymour Duncan '59 bridge pickup. The ’59 bridge model (SH-1) is a vintage output humbucker that’s great for rock, blues, and more. Its vintage-inspired coils give it an airy quality that is firmly in the P.A.F. family, and the alnico 5 bar magnet and vacuum wax potting make it compatible with lighter guitar strings and louder amplifiers than were ever used in the 1950s. The result is a pickup with tons of old-school tonal character, but with a brighter top end, and a slightly more compressed sound.

 Don’t miss out on this battle-scarred, tone-soaked gem – it’s got the looks, the feel, and the sound to make your heart skip a beat. Grab it now and let this flametop legend light up your next performance! 🔥  

The 1997 Orville LPS-80F Les Paul Standard "foto flame" is a solid-body electric guitar manufactured in Japan, often as a more affordable, non-Gibson-branded counterpart to a Gibson Les Paul.
