1994 Mushroom Les Paul

[JDZ]

Scored one of the really rare ones!
Made in 1994, solid top, ebony board, lacquer with Van Zandt pickups.
Looks to be all original.

Congrats John! Stunning Mushroom. I had a feeling you would grab that one. Any idea what the script on the headstock signifies?

Mushroom is a really rare brand, must have been around only a very short time, one of the brands created by Hidesato Shiino.

@villager has a gorgeous one, I've seen pictures of one other and this one are the only Mushroom LP's I've ever seen.

Thanks!

I do - the guitar was made for Yoshio Nomura and is in a book about his guitar collection, so it is his name on the headstock.

It came with one of his picks too...

Sweet looking guitar. Congrats!
Long neck tenon?
Shiino guitars are worth the extra work it takes to track down.
