This guitar was made in Japan in 1972 for the
Australian market. At some point it made its way to Britain; which is evident
from the Fly Emirates ‘Fragile’ sticker on the hardcase - Fly Emirates is the national airline for Australia.
It has no name but is a copy of a Gibson Les Paul Professional or Recording Model.
I like it because of the low impedence
pickups which are interesting because they were the pickups used by guitarist
and inventor Les Paul himself and are different to a typical humbucker or
standard guitar pickups.. I’d give it solid a 10/10 because it’s really unique,
has a good story to it and I don’t think I’ll see it anywhere else which means
it feels personal to me.
