$899.99

Up for sale, a 2003 FGN History Dignity ZLC-90 electric guitar in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Crafted exclusively for the Japanese market at the renowned Fujigen Gakki factory and only sold at the Shimamura chain of music shops, this History Dignity ZLC-90 is particularly rare. This no-corners-cut instrument features a Timeless Timber carved maple top, with Timeless Timber mahogany body and neck with long tenon, capped with a bound rosewood fingerboard.

Timeless Timber premium wood (in recent years rebranded by Fujigen as "Heritage Wood") is milled from logs that sank during the logging boom of the 1800s and early 1900s. These woods are preserved by the icy temperatures and low oxygen content of the waters of the Great Lakes, offering old growth cuts that haven't been available for over a century. The seasoned tonewoods translate a traditional LP tonal palette through the stock pair of humbuckers, each measuring in the low-wind PAF range at 7.3k ohms. The pickups are dynamic, clear, and harmonically rich, with a sweet growl and cut in the bridge position, while the neck pickup retains plenty of attack and note clarity, offering a thicker sound ideal for lead work. The guitar weighs 8lbs 11oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with low action, solid intonation, and fresh 10-46 strings.
