1978 JooDee (by Yamaki Japan) JLP-550 Les Paul Standard (Brown Sunburst)Made in Japan by Yamaki in 1978, this was a higher end construction than most Greco or Ibanez models from the same price bracket. Two piece plain top with a satin nitro lacquer finish, two piece mahogany back with a medium profile mahogany neck and a bound 22 fret rosewood fingerboard with trapezoid inlays, weighs a reasonable 4. 2kg's. Loaded with a pair of vintage Super Distortion style humbuckers, it's got a new nut installed along with a full set

Full hollow construction with a body shape that's slightly more compact than a ES-335 (closer to a Wahburn HB-35)

Frets have plenty of life with minimal wear and the neck is straight
