Epiphone Elite Tak Burst B'z Tak Matsumoto Les Paul

This is an Epiphone Elite Tak Burst. I purchased it used in good condition and have kept it as part of my collection.

This is an early model from the ELITE series, manufactured in Japan by Fujigen, with a Gibson-shaped headstock. The body top is finished with quilted maple. I believe the figuring is quite good, but since aesthetic appreciation is subjective, please check the images. The pickups are the same New Tak Matsumoto Special as found on Gibson's TAK Burst.

Condition:
The body is in excellent condition with no noticeable scratches. There is some tarnishing on the metal parts, but considering its age, it is in very good condition. Please refer to the images.
Please note that the bridge, tailpiece, and tuners have been replaced with GOTOH parts since I purchased it. The original parts are also included. While I cannot be certain of the original condition, the frets appear to be around 80% remaining. The neck is straight, and the electronics are in perfect working order. The strings have not been replaced, so please change them.

Accessories:
- Dedicated hard case (with some minor scratches from when I purchased it)
- Certificate of authenticity
- Original parts (tuners, bridge, tailpiece)
The item will be shipped with cushioning material wrapped around the hard case. If you have other shipping preferences, they can be accommodated with shipping costs paid by the buyer.

This is a used item. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive about condition. We cannot accept returns for reasons such as discovering scratches after delivery or the color not matching your expectations. We operate on a no-claims, no-returns basis. I am not in a hurry to sell and am not considering significant price reductions at this time. Please ask any questions you may have before purchasing if there is anything you are concerned about.
