Here for sale we have a Orville Les Paul Junior in Vintage Sunburst finish. Made in Japan Circa. 1980s this guitar was a part of the lawsuit era of Japanese guitars. This guitar features a set-neck construction comprising a Mahogany body, Mahogany neck and 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard. A wraparound 'SG Tailpiece’ is fitted, along with a set of aftermarket Grover tuners. A singleHouse of Tone P90 pickup is installed in the bridge position, and is wired to a master volume and master tone control.
The Mahogany neck plays very well, with the Rounded profile sitting very comfortably in the hand and providing a smooth and responsive playing experience in all registers. The 1.700” nut width retains the traditional Les Paul string spacing, meaning that you are less likely to ‘fall off’ the board during string bending and vibrato techniques. The Rosewood fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers, whilst its 12” radius ensures a nicely flat and consistent playing surface right the way up the register.
The House of Tone P-90 pickup installed in the bridge position of this guitar delivers a thick and full throaty tone, with a warm low end and driving midrange that is complimented well by crisp and cutting highs. The pickup is nice and bright, perfect for searing rhythm tones that easily cut through the mix to put your playing front and centre. The pickup is fantastic for pushing the front end of an amplifier, whilst offering excellent dynamic control. The simple control layout is not intrusive to the playing experience and offers comprehensive control of your tone; feeling highly interactive and responding very well to subtle changes.
