Strum or Solo Your Own Stairway to Heaven! - Jimi Page Vibes / Killer Looks and Sounds for DAYS!
Don't be Dazed and Confused, and let me Ramble On but I have a Whole Lotta Love for this Killer guitar.
Carefully crafted by the fine luthiers of the world famous FugiGen factory in Japan, feast your eyes on this extra sweet Les Paul. It features a MONSTER flame top with enough character to cast a sitcom, long neck tenon, open book Gibson headstock, and solid mahogany body & neck making it similar to a '59 Les Paul reissue. There is a distinct flavor that is a true delight in the older Epiphone line that was produced in Japan, and this interesting piece is far from the exception. This is a true players guitar... the visual appeal will be appreciated by all and the musical flavor is just as sweet. The guitar is in presents as clean but player friendly condition. It has a super clean top with most of the wear and tear along the back edges. There is some dings and a chip along the edge. (see pics) It radiates a cool, vintage-MOJO vibe and will feel like home once she's in your hands. Perfectly weighted and well balanced are the first impressions, and when your hand reaches the fretboard the next impression is that this girl has got it. Unplugged she displays characteristic woody timbre and clean, resonant twang that transfers tremendously when she is plugged in. Hooked up to an amp this Lester truly comes to life and really packs the nuanced grind and authoritative tone that makes the Custom the quintessential electric guitar sound of our times. The guitar has been professionally dialed in for immediate rocking, with a straight and clean neck, and un-tarnished hardware. Playability is outta sight with crisp, buttery action and smooth, accurate feel making this little lady hard to put down. The pickups scream and this Lesters sound is on par with any American made big brother, if not better. The guitar has a nice, tightly grained rosewood board, and clean frets, proper functioning machines that hold tune perfectly, and clean saddles that provide precise intonation. This is a great opportunity to get up close and personal with a great piece that is easy on your hands, eyes, and bank account too. She's a real deal... An all around fantastic and sweet guitar.
This guitar is professionally set up and dialed in for optimal tone and playability. It has low action with no buzzing or dead spots and is an absolute joy to play. It has been deep cleaned and detailed. All guitars will arrive looking and playing great. The frets have been leveled / dressed / polished and the fingerboard was cleaned. (Unfinished Rosewood and Ebony boards get treated with Fret Doctor - a proprietary all natural oil that is the best on the market) It has brand new strings, the action was adjusted, the intonation is spot on and it plays excellent. All the electronics work flawlessly.

Terms For Returns & Re-Stocking Fee’s
We recognize and accept a 7 day return policy as per Reverb guidelines, BUT intentions of the return must be communicated in writing within 3 day of receiving the guitar as indicated by the tracking. Unless the guitar is not as described, ORIGINAL & RETURN SHIPPING COSTS WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. There is a 10% Re-stocking fee for ALL guitars that are returned for ANY reason outside of damage from shipping or it arrives significantly not as described. Please note that we record demo videos to make sure our guitars go out exactly as we describe them with zero issues. We understand that feeling comfortable is vital to the purchase of a guitar/bass so in any case, additional measurements or in hand descriptions are available prior to purchase/shipping. Thats said, guitars travel a great distance some times and in transit things can happen. Also guitars acclimate to new environments and this can cause a need for a new set up or minor adjustment. It is acceptable and normal if there is for instance a tiny bit of buzzing or the need to adjust a truss rod. We are in south Florida and if you are in a colder or less humid environment it is almost to be expected. Please read our feedback and see what our customers say. The guitar MUST BE RETURNED IN THE EXACT CONDITION it was advertised/received or it is subject to additional costs & or repair fees. We are not a big chain shop, I hope you understand. If you are uncomfortable with these terms please do not purchase. There are plenty big chain shops that can absorb free trials and shipping.
