Good vintage condition with a basic bumps and dings on the body and neck as pictured.

powerful Zebra-Coil Ceramic humbuckers

it appears all original except for a replacement jack plate

all Epiphones feature a 14-degree headstock that gives you more pressure at the nut and so you get more sustain with less tuning hang-ups caused by "string-tree" gadgets

Made in Japan by ESP and distributed by "Made Company" in around 1987 (based on the pot codes and the overall specs/style of the guitar and stamps)

Seems all original except for one bridge pin

Plays nice with life in the frets and a straight neck

it weighs 2kg's

21 frets with a 628mm scale length

rosewood fingerboard (22 frets

Action is currently medium as it's got a slight ski-ramp on the higher frets

Looks to be all original with Gibson branded tuners and pickups along with a black three-point bridge system
