2003 Japan Made Epiphone Les Paul CustomThis guitar is in pretty incredible shape. It has no paint chips and the hardware only had minor wear. Holds tune like the day it came off the line. If you don't know about this series of guitars you should google the information about the series. They weren't made very long so they are hard to find. The factories they were made in were held to a much higher standard and made of better materials than the typical Epiphone line. These guitars are close to being actual Gibson instruments. This particular model, the CUSTOM, is even more rare to find. Specs listed below.This particular guitar is even more rare, being that it is labeled "Elite" and not "Elitist". There were only 189 of these guitars made with that branding. Additionally, finding an LP Custom is not common.Included with this guitar is the original case, a strap, and some extra cosmetic parts... Pick guard, pickup rings, toggle switch bezel, toggle switch nob, and vol/tone nobs. You can easily give this guitar a completely different look with ease. All of the white parts are "aged" and have a vintage look to them.Body:
