This is an Epiphone Les Paul Custom made in Japan. It is known to have been manufactured by Fujigen for a short period. It features a lacquer finish and a long tenon (deep joint), and is made quite authentically. Based on the serial number, it was likely manufactured in 2004, and although it's been a guitar for over 20 years, it has very few dents or paint cracks and is in good condition. Currently, the neck is almost straight, and the truss rod nut seems to have room to turn both left and right. When measured with a scale, the weight is 4.0kg, which is relatively light for a Les Paul Custom. As it is a used instrument, adjustments may be necessary depending on the environment of use and the season. The hard case in the photos is for storage and photography and is not included. It will be shipped in a soft case for transportation, carefully packed with cushioning material and a musical instrument box. If you have any questions, please ask. If there are any discrepancies between the description and the condition, or if there are any scratches that are not visible in the photos, the current condition takes precedence. It is also listed elsewhere, so it may be removed without notice.
