Thought I'd post this here in the orville section as it sort of fits the description. I didn't find much info on the forum about Epiphones so i thought I'd add what I can on these great Fujigen guitars.
Just picked up this great Epiphone Les Paul LQ and I am thoroughly impressed! The first thing I will say is that it has about the biggest neck I have ever played on a Japanese Les Paul. It's right up there with old Greco EGF necks. I've had a few 850's and 1000's and this neck is every bit as large if not even larger. that makes me very happy!
Great laquer finish in a dark tea burst. The mahogany is stained very red, much like the original bursts. I love the plaintops and this one has some pretty strong grain pattern. It's all original and it sounds very good. I was thinking of swapping the pups out but I don't think I have to - it's got a great clean and crisp tone even when cranked with lots of overdrive. I've got a set of custom wounds I might try in her just for fun though.
Not sure how much difference there is between this and the Elitist version. I think the Elitist had better electronics and pickups and it came with a hard case. Nonetheless, this a great guitar.
Here's a few pics of her.
