1988 Orville by Gibson Les Paul Standard Vintage Sunburst
Orville once existed as a sister brand of the original Gibson and took its name from the founder Orville Henry Gibson.
Even today, Orville has a strong following among Gibson fans and old Japanese fans.
This guitar is serial number G88~, which means it was made in 1988.
The color and arch nuances are unique, and it seems to have the atmosphere of the last period of Gibson Kalamazoo.
The rosewood fingerboard is black and has a perfect glossy finish. The high quality can be seen.
Orville by Gibson” inlay is on the top model with Gibson pickups.
The catalog of the time does not specify the type of pickups, and it is confirmed that several types of pickups were used, but this model is equipped with “Gibson USA The Original HB-R HB-L”, the base humbucker made by Bill Lawrence. The body is made in Japan.
This guitar is equipped with Bill Lawrence's “Gibson USA The Original HB-R HB-L” humbuckers, which add an edgy nuance to the fat body sound that is typical of Japanese-made guitars, creating a good balance.
The overall condition is relatively good, although there are some age-appropriate signs of use such as scratches and dings, as well as hardware aging and damage on the body end (please refer to the photos).
There is a slight fret lift on the 1st string side of the 2nd fret, but it is not a problem for playing.
Rear PU escutcheon has been replaced, and the rod is tight but still works.
Gig bag with genuine logo is included.
