Released during the 1990s, it wears an all-red finish that runs across the body, the neck and even the maple fingerboard, contrasted by gold hardware throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe details that define this model are all present here: a reverse headstock, the lizard inlay at the 12th fret, a 24-fret maple neck and an arm-up routed Fernandes FRT-5PRO-TRS licensed Floyd Rose tremolo. The SSH pickup layout is paired with a single master volume, a 5-way lever switch and a mini switch that taps the bridge humbucker, giving this guitar a wide tonal range from full humbucker output to single-coil clarity. Japanese domestic signature models of this era are seldom seen outside Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e== SPECIFICATIONS ==\u003cbr\u003e- Model: LA-85KK (ken \/ L'Arc-en-Ciel signature model)\u003cbr\u003e- Year: 1990s\u003cbr\u003e- Country of Origin: Japan\u003cbr\u003e- Color: Red\u003cbr\u003e- Body: Soft Maple\u003cbr\u003e- Neck: Maple, bolt-on\u003cbr\u003e- Fingerboard: Maple, 24 frets\u003cbr\u003e- Scale: 648 mm (25.5\")\u003cbr\u003e- Pickups: VS-1 x 2 (neck, middle), VH-4 humbucker (bridge)\u003cbr\u003e- Controls: Master Volume\u003cbr\u003e- Switches: 5-way lever switch, mini switch (coil tap)\u003cbr\u003e- Bridge: Fernandes FRT-5PRO-TRS licensed Floyd Rose tremolo\u003cbr\u003e- Tuners: Gotoh\u003cbr\u003e- Weight: 3.9 kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e== CONDITION ==\u003cbr\u003eOverall: Very Good\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Body: Playwear consistent with age\u003cbr\u003e- Neck: Straight\u003cbr\u003e- Frets: Approximately 70% remaining\u003cbr\u003e- Hardware: Tarnish on the gold parts (vintage patina)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll electronics function correctly and the guitar plays as intended.

Beyond the collector appeal, it is a genuinely usable player's guitar: a 24-fret maple neck, a locking tremolo that handles both dive bombs and arm-up bends, and a coil-tapped SSH layout that covers a lot of ground. The all-red finish with gold hardware and the lizard inlay make it instantly recognisable, and clean examples with a straight neck and healthy fret life are becoming harder to source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease feel free to message with any questions before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSETUP \u0026amp; INSPECTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCleaned, set up, and inspected by our luthier before shipping:\u003cbr\u003e- Neck relief and action adjusted\u003cbr\u003e- Frets and fingerboard cleaned\u003cbr\u003e- Intonation set\u003cbr\u003e- Tuners and electronics checked\u003cbr\u003eYour instrument arrives ready to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSHIPPING FROM JAPAN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Shipped worldwide from Japan with full tracking and insurance\u003cbr\u003e- Carefully packed with protective wrapping, strings detuned to relieve neck tension in transit\u003cbr\u003e- Processed and shipped within 2-4 business days\u003cbr\u003ePlease message us with any questions before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reverty Used Guitars Japan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50119250903282,"sku":"FER_LA85KK_0912","price":78300.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/3113\/3426\/files\/01_7ca11832-bd23-48a2-a633-d0117170cbdb.jpg?v=1789795373","url":"https:\/\/revertyjapan.com\/products\/1990s-fernandes-la-85kk-ken-larc-en-ciel-signature-red-reverse-head-mij-japan","provider":"Reverty Used Guitars Japan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
