Up for sale, a 1990 Orville Les Paul Custom model LPC-75 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Produced exclusively for the Japanese domestic market and uncommon outside of its country of origin, this Orville is an official Gibson-licensed guitar and a result of a partnership between Gibson USA and their Japanese distributor Yamano Gakki. Named after Gibson's founder, Orville Gibson, this discontinued Orville model was crafted at the Terada factory.
A lightweight example (for a Les Paul) at 8lbs 11oz, this guitar features the classic tonewood combination of a mahogany body, carved maple top, mahogany neck, and bound rosewood fretboard. The humbuckers respond similarly to a 490, metering at ~9k ohms, delivering clear growling trebles, a punchy midrange and bold low end, with distinct sounds at each position on the three-way pickup selector switch. This LPC-75 has been professionally set up here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

- Wood: Mahogany
- Shape: Slender C, measuring .820” 1st fret, .980” 12th fret
- Fretboard: Rosewood, block inlay
- Frets: Medium jumbo, no wear
- Scale Length: 24 3/4”
- Nut: 1 11/16”

The gloss Ebony finish has cosmetic wear limited to one minor ding on the treble-side perimeter near the bridge Volume, and some nicks and scratches in the clear coat, largely on the bass side of the back. The gloss on the neck profile is smooth and clean.
A gigbag is included.
