Hi, I may decide to sell my "museum piece" which is an immaculate Orville by Gibson 1992 Terada made cherry sunburst Les Paul. I have just bought a tobacco burst ObG and that is my preferred colour. Also, the cherry one is in such mint condition that I prefer not to play it. There is not a single scratch, or ding on it!
I don't know about the type of finish or the exact type of PU's (how do you know they are '59 classics??) but the sound is great and with quite a warm sound.
Price? Well, because of its condition it will not come cheap. I am thinking of around Pds. 1,000 European shipping and gigbag included. But then again, I don't think that you will find another 1992 guitar that is in such a condition as mine is. It is not near mint, it is mint, full stop!
I must say that for some strange reason the guitar came to me (from Japan) with different Gibson PU's and I put in the PU's of a 1994 Orville by Gibson but I don't know what Gibson PU's they are, I only know the guitar that they came from was in original state when I bought it.
I would include pictures but I don't know how to upload them here. Perhaps I will become a member of photo bucket and then I can send you the link. In the mean time, I can send pictures to an email address, so if you send me a PM with your email address, I can send you some pictures.
There is no guarantee that I won't change my mind and keep it, because it is in such a fine condition, but I await your reactions.
Regards,
Joop
