We never embellish, oversaturate, or misrepresent our images, so that your buying experience can be as much like visiting our showroom as possible.

SPECS

Case Details: Original Hardshell Case

Cosmetic Condition: Very good condition. Many scratches, dingsand worn areas present all over the body of the instrument. Scratching also on the headstock, and dings on the back of the neck as well.

Tech Notes: Guitar, Hardware, and Electronics were cleaned/tested and are functioning appropriately. Setup with minimal neck relief and medium/low action. Fretboard cleaned and Frets Polished. Plays evenly throughout the entire neck with consistent playability/intonation. Killer guitar all in all!

Mods or Repairs: This guitar has undergone some changes! The original mini-humbucker pickups have been changed with 2 full size pickups (1 new replacement PAF and the other a true Gibson labeled real deal Gibson embossed patent pickup!) which required the previous owner to do additional routing (see attached photos).

You will also notice there is some material removed from the floating pick-guard to fit the sizing of the humbucker rings. Backplate screws have been replaced from original screws.

The nut was replaced with what appears to be a Tusq nut. Pots were replaced at some point with 2 older Gibson branded pots and 2 newer gibson pots. When speaking with Gibson they’re confident (as are we) that it was built within 1970-1975 The previous owner said it was a 1972, but since we cannot directly verify that based on serial with prefer to say it is certainly between 1970-1975!
