Epiphone Les Paul Standard – Crafted at the Legendary FujiGen Factory (Japan)

Here’s a rare gem for collectors and players alike. Built in 1998 at the world-renowned FujiGen factory in Japan, this Epiphone Les Paul Standard embodies the high standards and craftsmanship reminiscent of a '58 or '59 Les Paul reissue. It features:

  • Open-book Gibson-style headstock
  • Long neck tenon
  • Solid mahogany body and neck
  • Tight-grained rosewood fretboard

This model stands out from the crowd with its vintage MOJO, unmistakable tone, and superior build quality. Japanese-made Epiphones from this era are highly sought after for good reason — they offer a playing experience that rivals much more expensive guitars.

Tonally, this guitar delivers a woody resonance unplugged, and when plugged in, it shines with nuanced grind and powerful sustain—the essence of what a true Les Paul should be. The weight and balance are spot-on, making it a joy to play for hours.

Condition-wise, it’s in phenomenal shape with just a couple of blemishes: some scratches on the bottom edge and th back. A neck on the headstock (Check on the headstock). Frets are clean, the neck is straight, hardware is untarnished, and everything functions flawlessly. It has been professionally set up and plays with smooth, low action and spot-on intonation.


Don’t miss the chance to own a piece of Epiphone’s finest era. This one’s a keeper—and easy on the eyes, hands, and wallet.
