The brand was active from 1988-1998 as the Japanese branch of Gibson, producing instruments primarily for the Japanese market. Later, instruments from this Japanese production appeared under the Epiphone Elitist and Ellite brands, today they are no longer in production, but they are still in demand as used. These guitars are quite rare in our country.

The electronics of the potentiometers and the position switch are newly installed together with the copper shielding.
