Better than any epiphone of the last 15 years.

For around 400-500 bucks it's a serious option for every les paul fan. If you don't play watching the headstock of your guitar but just with your ears you'll find a sonic titan on your hand. The sound is really dark and warm, maybe too much for someone (I suggest to change bridge PU with a JB or similars). The real pro of this guitar is the soft "d" neck, super confortable for every hands. This guitars around the mid 80's, late 70's were produced by Matsumoku in Japan, a huge factory who produced some of the best Japanese handmade guitar. Mine is an 84's with black and gold finish, it has is fashion but it doesn't looks like a LP custom as the Greco ones (another cool MIJ brand). here you can find all the specs! http://www.matsumoku.org/models/ariaproii/bg/b_and_g.html
