History (by Shimokura Music) made this guitar as its flagship 360,000 yen guitar.  It cost
nearly $3,500 with the hard case pictured when new.  It features Timeless Timber wood,
which is a fascinating story you can learn more about
HERE.  All woods are rare and exotic
tone woods as old as 400 years in age.  The top is AAAA solid quarter-sawn flamed maple,
and the binding is also flamed wood of some exotic sort.  The abalone inlays are very dark
green and expensive, as is everything else about this guitar.  Typical of the Japanese
perfection fetish, this Les Paul / PRS blend design is nothing short of dazzling in tone, fit
and finish, feel, and craftsmanship.  Take some time to learn more about this brand
