1997 Orville Les Paul LPS-80F Photo Flame Cherry Sunburst - Made in Japan (FujiGen)
A 1997 Orville Les Paul LPS-80F in Cherry Sunburst, built in Japan under Gibson license. The headstock-back serial 711214 follows the no-prefix Orville format used for FujiGen production, dating this guitar to November 1997. It weighs a comfortable 3.85 kg (8.49 lb) and comes with a hard case.
Orville was the Japanese-market brand produced under license from Gibson during the late 1980s and 1990s, and the FujiGen-built solid bodies of this period are highly regarded by players worldwide for their build quality. The LPS-80F was the Photo Flame version of the Orville Les Paul Standard, pairing a mahogany back with a carved maple top finished with a flame-pattern photo veneer. Our technician notes a long tenon neck joint on this example.

== WHY THIS GUITAR ==
FujiGen-era Orville Les Pauls offer classic Japanese craftsmanship from the 1990s at a fraction of the cost of their American counterparts. This LPS-80F has an unmodified spec, a long tenon set neck, healthy frets and a lighter-than-average weight for a Les Paul, so it suits both regular playing and a vintage MIJ collection.
