Ive had a Kasuga Les Paul copy since 1978, bought second hand in Australia. It has remained my favorite guitar despite owning several others.It plays and sounds amazing with the original Maxon pickups - the only change is it has Schaller tuners,Gotoh bridge and bone nut fitted.I think its model LG480BS - taken from an advertising pamphlet from the 70s - but I'm not sure.A guitar tech who worked on it said it was the best Les Paul copy he's seen. My ex used to say I loved it more than her and in a fire would save the guitar before her - well I still have the guitar!
