Bought a 90's made for Gibson in Japan Orville 62 SG RI for cheaper than a Jina epi

[JMP/HBE]

Not complaining as ive had manyJapan guitars for 40 years.
My point is its taken 20 years for the epiphone brand to bloat the market with $300 guitars selling for $1200.
Whatcha gonna do when epi-mania runs on you ?

It was heavy and banged up

And the wanted $1200 for it

Glad you like yours

Not sure bout all that but i can tell you 40's somethings and younger have no idea what the value or quality of 80's & 90's made in Japan guitars are worth based on my dealings with the youngsters.

The guitar i got is a Fujigen made SG and in very good condition.
Jury is still out on the pickups as im pretty picky on pups.

That's a nice snag! Looks to be in excellent condition.

What is "Jina"?

What is "Jina"?

My understanding is that it's a very large country to the west of Chapan.

That looks very nice

What kinda deal did you get?

$750 but my State charges almost 10% internet sales tax thanks to GOP schmucks.

Thats a big 10-4.
Ive been looking for the right SG for the right price for quite a while.
Gotta say FB & Reverb / Ebay algorythms make it very difficult to get a fair market price as almost every item they feed you is from the top down price wise.
The worst thing you can do is use their filters and select exactly what you want cuz you're guaranted HOURS of scrolling thru the BS.

* Out for delivery .... [hate the wait].

Other than the metric component sizes that make it slightly more difficult to upgrade parts, I prefer MIJ guitars from the 90s and 00s.

Out of curiosity, why is Dean successfully sued by Gibson, but American guitars copied by Japanese brands for the Japanese domestic market are left alone?

Does Gibson not have a Japanese subsidiary like Fender does?

Orville brand was licensed by Gibson for the Japan market.
