Given a basic test prior to listing

the EB-95X was the signature model bass for Heath of X Japan

Designed to appeal to both New Wave and Metal fans

the LP-400 was the entry level Les Paul model sold to the Japanese market featuring the full Gibson aesthetic

The OD-1 was released in a time when fuzz and distortion were the go-to choice for guitarists and overdrive was considered to be too underwhelming

The frets are shiny and smooth with plenty of life left and the truss is fully functional

Looks to be all original with a TSG 1G bridge
