Up for sale, a 1970s H.S. Anderson LP60 in 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case. The H.S. stands for Hidesato Shiino, christened the “Japanese Leo Fender,” a critical figure in the “lawsuit era” Japanese guitar world who would go on to start ESP and had involvement in brands including Greco and Fernandes. The H.S. Anderson brand is most associated with the Tele-style “Mad Cat" model HS-1 played extensively by Prince.
A faithful recreation of the Les Paul platform (with brazen “Les Paul” text on the headstock), tonewoods include a mahogany body, carved three-piece maple top, and a mahogany neck capped by a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard. The pair of humbucking pickups are a slightly hotter wind than a traditional PAF, delivering plenty of power and punch, with a distinct sound in each pickup position. Weighing 9lbs 1oz, this LP60 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Sunburst gloss is closest to Gibson’s “Bourbon Burst” with some vertical checking throughout. There’s one shallow finish chip central to the back, a few small chips along the lower bout perimeter, and some dings and finish scratches. The gloss on the neck profile is smooth in the palm with a few shallow marks.
A modern black tolex hardshell case is included.
