It's been 4 years so its time for someone else to leave a post. I have a JDS Les Paul copy I bought about 20 years ago in a store in Kansas City but not the store listed above. I'm not for sure what store it was but I did buy it new and probably from a music store called "Big Dudes" on Broadway. From what I remember the salesmen described it to me as a Japanese made Les Paul copy. I don't play much but I love this guitar which is the classic orange sun burst. I love the way it looks probably more then the way it plays.
