Very cool Epiphone/Gibson Spotlight Nouveau electric guitar. Sometime around Norlin's 1987 sale of Gibson, the decision was made to produce the Nouveau line of guitars. The Gibson Nouveaus were going to consist of cost-effective necks and bodies made in Japan and assembled and finished in Nashville and branded as American Made. Although the original sales literature introduces these as purely Gibson guitars, somewhere between manufacturing and finishing, they became the known as the Epiphone Spotlight series, resulting in an Japanese-made, USA assembled Epiphone.The first Nouveau guitars introduced by Gibson were a line of flat top semi-hollow guitars under the "Nouveau by Gibson" brand in 1986. In 1987 electric guitars joined the line. By September 1987 Gibson moved the flat top Nouveaus to the Epiphone line, under the brand "Nouveau by Epiphone" and the electrics were moved to Epiphone by February 1988. By early 1989 the entire Nouveau line was discontinued.Great sounding EMG passive pickups, Ebonal fingerboard and a Steinberger bridge. Tip of the toggle switch has broken off, still move about but you can't put on a plastic tip. Has some wear on the body, and on the back, as well as some wear on the edge of the fretboard. These were made for a short time in the 80's and this was a lawsuit model due to its likeness to the popular PRS brand. The back plate is missing but this does not affect the way it plays or sounds. The original tremolo arm is not included, bridge is currently in locked position. Great sounding guitar.Includes a black hard shell case(not original case). Will ship through Fedex with full insurance and tracking.
