🇯🇵1996🇯🇵 Orville LPS-80F Les Paul Standard~ Cherry Sunburst~ Japan Import!

🎌 1996 ORVILLE LPS-80F ‘FOTO-FLAME 🎌

A stunning 1996 Orville LPS-80F finished in a rich Cherry Sunburst with one of the most eye catching tops we’ve had through recently. This guitar absolutely screams classic late 50s Les Paul vibes and looks incredible from every angle.

Built in Japan during the legendary Fujigen era, the LPS-80F features a carved maple top, mahogany body, mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard. Like many higher end Japanese domestic market Les Pauls from the period, this model uses a highly figured photo flame finish to achieve that dramatic vintage style flame appearance, something that has become a real hallmark of many sought after 90s MIJ instruments.

The result is a guitar with serious visual impact, giving it that classic figured burst look associated with some of the most desirable vintage inspired Les Pauls of the era.

This example appears to retain its original Japanese humbuckers which sound fantastic. The neck pickup delivers warm, open tones with loads of clarity while the bridge has plenty of bite, punch and sustain for classic rock and blues. It has that unmistakable resonant MIJ Les Paul feel that made these Orville models so respected.

Weight is approximately 4.05kg / 8lb 15oz.

Condition is very good for its age with honest signs of use throughout. There are some small chips, dings and scratches around the body and headstock edges as shown in the photos, along with general cosmetic play wear consistent with a nearly 30 year old guitar. No breaks or structural repairs. The guitar has loads of character and presents beautifully overall.

Freshly checked over and set up- Playing amazingly well!

These Fujigen built Orville models continue to rise in popularity for good reason, offering exceptional craftsmanship, vintage inspired feel and serious value compared to many modern equivalents.
