1970s H.S. Anderson LP60 Les Paul Model Vintage Lawsuit Guitar Tobacco Sunburst w/ Birdseye Top & Case

1970s H.S. Anderson LP60 Les Paul Model Vintage Lawsuit Guitar Tobacco Sunburst w/ Birdseye Top & Case

Up for sale, a 1970s H.S. Anderson LP60 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case. The H.S. stands for Hidesato Shiino, christened the “Japanese Leo Fender,” a critical figure in the “lawsuit era” Japanese guitar world who would go on to start ESP and had involvement in brands including Greco and Fernandes. The H.S. Anderson brand is most associated with the Tele-style “Mad Cat" model HS-1 played extensively by Prince.

A faithful recreation of the Les Paul Standard platform (with brazen “Les Paul” text on the headstock), tonewoods comprise a mahogany body, a carved and figured birdseye maple top, and a mahogany neck capped by a bound rosewood fingerboard. The stock pair of humbuckers are wound nice and hot, metering 10.2k ohms at both the neck and bridge positions, delivering plenty of power and punch, with a distinct sound in each pickup position. Weighing 9lbs 3oz, this H.S. Anderson LP60 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
