Warm greetings from Japan. Thank you very much for visiting our listing.

This is an Epiphone Tak Matsumoto 1955 Les Paul Standard guitar in Antique Gold, inspired by the 1955 Les Paul model famously used by Tak Matsumoto of B’z. It is part of the Inspired by Gibson Custom series and features Gibson Burstbucker PRO Alnico 5 pickups, CTS pots, Switchcraft parts, and a Gibson Historic Wraparound Bridge. The neck and body construction remain true to the vintage style.

The guitar has been rarely used and mainly stored at home; however, it shows signs of use consistent with a pre-owned instrument. There are fine surface scratches on the body and subtle dents and finish marks. The metal parts such as the pickup covers and bridge show some dulling and minor wear. The back of the neck and body are relatively clean. There are no major chips, cracks, or noticeable paint peeling.

All original accessories and the specially designed brown/pink interior hard case are included. The guitar and case are sold as-is without restoration or repairs. Please examine the included photos closely to assess condition details like scratches and metal patina. This model is recommended for fans of B’z and Tak Matsumoto or collectors seeking a notable Japanese artist signature edition.
