Camel CLP-800 Les Paul STD Model Late 70's model w/JP circuits

Camel (Kyowa-Chushin) Les Paul STD Model

This is very rare Les Paul STD model. Kyowa offered Fresher guitars mainly in 70's.
Then, they started "Camel" brand as their high grade brand.
It was very good quality guitars. However, the sales was not really good against
Greco, Fernandes and Tokai Les Paul Model.
Therefore, it is very rare to see the Camel both Les Paul and Stratocaster model.

When I got this guitar, the previous owner modified the circuit with Korean made PU.
I took off all and changed all new MIJ parts on with Jimmy Page circuits.

It is pretty hard to tell you the circuits detailed.
All potentiometers has ON/OFF switch.

This circuits made both single coil, both humbucker, Neck Single & Bridge Humbucker,
Bridge single neck Humbucker in out of phase. All these in series, plus all in phase
or out of phase...I wired this but very complicated sound you could get
(Phase and series switches required both pickups to be turned on the selector switch.
Phase will not have any effect with one pickup on, and series switching may have the guitar turned off with
only one pickup activated).
Well, this modification provide you tone like Jimmy, at least, I felt it.

The pickups are changed from Korean made to MIJ Gotoh vintage Humbuckers.
As you know, Gotoh is supply for Fender Japan, Fernandes, Tokai and etc... as OEM base.
I feel this PUs are very showing pretty gentle vintage tone.

The neck is straight (Maho) and frets are prefect (previous owner said he asked the guitar shop re-fretted).
The grip is not really thin not really fat like 1960 Les Paul Replica from Gibson.
The tuner is Gotoh locking tuner with Grover type key.
The body has scratches and dents but not really bad as shown on pictures.
The body is maybe Maho 2PLY 2-3P, the Top is maple 2P. It is 4.5Kg

We are going to ship this guitar with used Gigbag. If you need the hard case, just ask us.
We could offer brand new hard case too.

Well enjoy JV JP Les Paul!
