Cons
For some reason, this guitar is smaller than a Gibson Les Paul. It feels like the scale (not the scale length though) has been reduced to 98% or so. Not always easily available. Even though the sticker says "Made In Japan" these are presumably built in China and finished in Japan. Still, fit and finish is perfect, so who cares?
Summary
This is a fine guitar for people looking for a Les Paul style axe but, despite the looks isn't a 100% replica.
