This is a very rare Shinichi Ubukata signature limited edition (Japanese domestic market only) in Pelham Blue finish.

This guitar is in excellent condition and shows very little sign of any use. Part of a large collection and never gigged. It has been professionally modified including a new (roller) bridge, Tune-o-Matic from TonePros.
It has its original Epiphone hardshell case with a Shinichi Ubukata emblem and all paperwork.
Also fitted is a set of Hipshot locking tuners in vintage nickel, which offer a significant improvement over the standard Epiphone machine heads
