It's vintage MIJ Epiphone from when Gibson started using the same factory that made Aria/Domino/Conrad and labels like that to make Epis.

A friend of mine has one of those. The stock pickups are single coils that look a little like white Rickenbacker hi-gains. It plays pretty well, but that metal plate on the top of the vibrato is really weird. I think she paid under $200 for it.

I'd rock the fuck out of that, spesh with P90s.

Stock looks purdy good too, although the pickups look suspiciously like ones found on such 70's planks as Jedsons, which tend to sound poopy.

It's easy. You just put your the gubbin through the hole on the strap. It's pretty fucking simple, rob.

Its from the 70's so yeah. I don't even like that word vintage, sorry I used it but it helps people frame things in their mind.
