1970s Kasuga (Japan) Les Paul-Style Electric Guitar (Upgraded)
Overview: This cool old "black beauty" Les Paul copy is Japanese-made and branded Kasuga at the headstock. We've had a whole bunch of these through the shop over the years and this one has already had some good upgrades that these usually need -- some work to the wiring done and fancier tuners and bridge installed. It's a good player and has a good, aggressive, mids-forward sound that's fun to push amps with. It, of course, looks killer, too, and has the appropriate amount of too-many-layers of binding and extra trim.
Repairs included: Sarah gave this a fret level/dress and Max set it up. It's playing spot-on and ready to serve.
