Vintage 1982 Epiphone Les Paul Standard Matsumoku Japan MIJ Guitar
Vintage 1982 Epiphone Les Paul Standard Matsumoku Japan MIJ Guitar
This is one of the first Epiphone Les Paul Standards, taken straight from the Matsumoku factory in Japan in 1982. There are only a handful of these in production, and they used pretty much every trick of the trade in comparison to the 1958-1960 Les Paul Standards. You’ll not find a better guitar – they absolutely batter the American made Gibsons of the same period! We are including a brand new hard case to safely protect this in the post. It has a sound to die for that will not disappoint. There are hardly any marks on this at all, as you can see in the pictures. Please have a close look at the high resolution photographs below, as these form part of our description.
At The Music Locker we will do all we can for you to get the instrument you want. You’re more than welcome to come along and have a play on this through one of our vintage amplifiers!

The Music Locker prides itself on offering vintage and collectable pre-owned instruments and equipment (the Products).
We take all reasonable steps to ensure the equipment has been inspected by a competent person in the UK to ensure it complies with UK safety standards. This may mean it does not comply with the current standards in the country in which it will be subsequently used. It is the purchasers’ responsibility to ensure it is inspected by a competent person knowledgeable with the relevant electrical safety standards within that country, prior to connecting to any live electrical circuit.
It is the philosophy of The Music Locker to keep all items as original as possible, only changing original components when absolutely necessary. This includes valves, capacitors, transformers, potentiometers, frets, etc. This gives the buyer the option of tailoring to their exact needs, and may mean that the item is not operating at optimum performance levels. Therefore, your personal preference may differ, depending on your circumstances (i.e. collector or musician), and you may decide to service the item in more depth upon receiving.
The Music Locker cannot accept responsibility for any costs of refurbishment to a standard different to the one advertised.
