At the risk of some jump ... The Orville by Gibson Gibson factories will be in Japan from 1988 1998 to counter the innumerable copies Japanese often questionable quality of the Gibson Les Paul amricaines.
For the history, "Orville By Gibson until 1993; the" simple "Orville" 94 98 if I do not deceive me. The differences between "by Gibson" and the other is the lack of Orville Gibson pickups on single "Orville" (must include model Gotoh, like the rest of the hardware; indeed, if prvoyez you to change the pickups, no need to invest in a "by Gibson" more chres on the market the opportunity mainly because it possde Gibson pickups) and a shade the composition of the final varnish.

Regarding the violin, it's a Gibson:

_corps mahogany
Maple _Table
_manche mahogany with long tenon: Gibson, only the Custom Shop offers this option, which aims to increase the sustain of the instrument, but it is an argument that does make sense that if the post perfectly seal with its housing in the body, and this is not always the case with Orville, far from. Gibson USA, long tenon or not, the posts are usually very well NSMRI and jointent almost perfectly in their homes. It should not be dreaming, Orville was manufactured chain, you will not even when the assembly quality of Gibson USA Custom Shop ...
_touche Rosewood (and this is the only difference violin with LP Custom amricaine which is the key bne)
_Micros PAF Gibson USA 57 classic
_hardware sign Gotoh, Japanese manufacturing qualitbr />
I put 10 for the characteristics of a Gibson with a finishing degree copy for the price, which is not always the case with Gibson amricaines mid-range ...

USE

What the cot nothing the diffrencie its amricaines sisters ... heavy (often pledge of wood quality), difficult access to acute ... All that's more normal for a Paul ... The defects which are also the charm of the Les Paul ...

SONORITS

"It has everything a great" ... It reminds me of something ... The sound of the instrument is very warm, deep, very full, and quickly becomes dirty in heavy saturation, THE gibson sound .dropoff window Nothing wrong, the sustain is very good. For those wondering, to compare a "real" Gibson USA Les Paul Custom (test performed at a friend who possde a), the sound is barely (A PENALTY!) More fat on the gibson US. I'll let the purists decide about whether it is to the advantage or drawback for Gibson Japan.

NOTICE GLOBAL

Like many, I like (among others) the Gibson sound, but really exagr is the fact dbourser 3500 to pay a premium for a brand that plays a lot (too much) image. Three times cheaper, it is possible to obtain this excellent alternative to amricaines guitars and more for collectors, acqurir an instrument that continues to grow in value. 10/10!

EDIT 2 after two years of use, I am still happy with my OBG, but I see that the prices of the opportunity (forcment ... Production ADOPTED long ago) ascend fl che ... Today for a possder Orville By Gibson, must dbourser the same price as the US correspodante Gibson ... at best a few dozen uros within ... You see collector or not, has become ridiculous ... But still a good guitars.
