Orville By Gibson Les Paul Custom Black Beauty 1989

The Orville brand has a special position among Japanese versions of big brand models. These are licensed replicas from the Gibson brand, which were produced in Japan between 1988 and 1998 mainly for the Japanese market.

Later these instruments were sold under the Epiphone Elitist brand, which are also very desirable, not very common.

Black Beauty 1989 Orville By Gibson is a full scale Les Paul Custom. The guitar produces the sound you would expect from a true LP Custom. It's in excellent condition and features a classic black finish with yellowed neck trim, inlays and gold hardware. The previous owner replaced the original pickups with high quality Seymour Duncan 12 BJ Screamin' Demon bridge and SH-2N Jazz Neck pickups.
