Any idea what this could be???

Hi guys!

I have seen elephants fly but I have never seen a "Gession Let's Play Music' LP copy before!

Any ideas on that rare bird? Who made it? Using Google there are some japanese Yahoo websites mentioning the name "Gession" along with Gibson but unfortunately my japanese skills are close to zero. :roll:

I`ve seen that brand...and a LOT of others...on the Japanese web.

Here's a SG

They look a bit rough to me and the 3 screw truss rod cover points to Korean made.

From a distance of 10 metres it looks just like a Gibson.

(some japanese brands have used the 3 screws TRC system too)

... togps has already his hands on this one ... :lol: :lol: 8)


BTW - had it been refretted ??? Seems that I saw the rest of the nipples at the end of the "new" frets ... ? :-?

I asked the seller ...

He says these are the original frets - no refretting at all and the binding is also original !!

The seller claim it's japanese (I don't read german, unfortunately)? Because, obviously, it's a Korean brand.

... he says he "assumes" that it is a Japanese brand.

Sneaky mentioned that he has seen alot of them on the Japanese web ... and, IMO, ...

... it's very suspect that togps asked the seller for BIN ... 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

RedFish_Happy, thanks for starting the thread. So I get aware abut the auction. (One Hefe Weizen for you)
Yeah, I did hit the Ebay button!
It should be a Pre Les Paul Reborn.
Probably (hopefully) a FLG1000.
The low/mid budget guitars did feature a pancake body. (Bold on/ glued set neck)
Can't wait until the mid 70ies fossil is here, to check out the specs.
I'll report asap after its receive.
Mysterious Pre Les Paul Reborns were available in the 70ies on the Japanese domestic market with following labels:
Gaban,
Gallan,
Gibbon,
Ganson,
Gession,
Grandy
