Momose Les Paul Custom type currently on Yahoo Japan auction, these never show up and looks like this one may have been custom ordered with certain hardware upgrades and other spec upgrades.
Nice looking, quite rare example and with the upgrades possibly an Aska factory one off.

Other order items are as follows:

Light Weight Aluminum Tailpiece Gold ver.2
Bushings for tailpiece studs for Vintage ver2

In the standard specification, conductive paint is applied to the pickups and control cavities, etc., but this product does not have conductive paint.
The standard steel jackplate has been replaced with a montreux plastic jackplate.
59 LPC black 3ply jackplate
Changed all internal wiring materials to montreux
Vintage braided wire
Changed condenser from standard to Luxe
Luxe / 1956-1960 Matched Pair of Luxe Oil-Filled .022mF Bumblebee Capacitors
All parts replacement was provided to Momose, so nothing has been changed since the order was placed.
For reference, the price at the time of purchase was about 540,000 yen including the supplied items.
Incidentally, Momose seems to have discontinued the production of Les Paul type set necks.
This is a rare wine red guitar with this material composition, parts composition, and all lacquer, so if you are interested in it, please contact us as soon as possible.
We will try our best to respond to your questions and negotiate a lower price.
