FS: MIJ Epiphone Les Paul Special TVY - £350

Limehouse_Blues

This is another great Japanese guitar I have to let go to make way for my R0's return from Florian Jager's workshop.

Typical Fujigen quality (the fretwork puts Gibson to shame). Very thin lacquer finish shows a few nicks and dings. Open book headstock only seen on the Japanese domestic market models.

Original (and decent quality) Epiphone gig bag.

£350  £475 cash on collection (London)

Got a similar Les Paul spesh, fujigen made Epiphone. They are outstanding guitars if that helps anyone. The price here is very reasonable

Cool. Bit tricky. Thanks for coming back to me

Oh man. I was drooling over a Heritage H137 TV last night and this is kinda getting there for 1/5th of the price. If only it wasn't at the other end of the country.

Sorry guys. Withdrawing this one. The 1980 Standard LP is still available.

This guitar is now back on sale. I had under priced it previously on Fretboard at £350. It was hanging for a little while in Charlie Chandler's shop on consignment over the summer with no takers at £595 and is now offered to Fretboarders for £475 firm.

Price includes Epiphone gig bag.

Wedding bells are ringing and I'm planning to let go a good chunk of my MIJ collection over coming weeks and will be listing some interesting Tokais soon.

Lovely guitar but think I'll wait until it hits £500.

Limehouse_Blues

Lol. Prices in a market go up and down and I'm obeying the forum rules. Price transparency is a good thing.

If I was concerned to recoup my cost including shipping from Japan and import taxes I'd be asking north of £500.

I just want the guitar to find a good home with someone who will play the heck out of it. 

Limehouse_Blues

I will honor the originally offered price (June 2015) of £350.

You won't find a better deal in Europe on a JDM Epiphone.

Neck profile on this Epi is medium and close to a 59. It's thicker than my R0 (on the left) but not as thick as my 2015 Tokai HLS (on the right).
