Ok for some of you who maybe new to these very good licensed Gibson replicas made in Japan , here are some basic notes about both
Orville, Most made by Fuji Gen Gakko, who also produced the original Ibanez Lawsuit guitars as well as other lawsuit guitars hiding under other names such as Crestwood, rare and very limited Tokai's ,ect,
General Body correct historic specs, Long Tenon necks, quarter inch maple caps Holly vaneer headstocks, but poly finished , many with a variety of photo flame tops they are not fret edged bound like Gibsons
Orville By Gibson was a more correct higher end version with Nitro finish, ALL US Made Gibson Hardware , Classic 57 pickups and the flame tops are either vaneered real wood or whole quarter inch flame maple and these definitly are commanding much higher prices closing in on Gibson VOS R8 range
