Neck Details: Evidence of a refret, although the newer frets show moderate play-wear. The fretboard appears to not have been planed. Fret end nibs have been removed and there is a consistent lighter line along the edge of the binding near the fret ends from filing to establish bevel.
Electronics: Electronics appear original. Pickups are 60's P-90s, and wiring harness is consistent with originals, with untouched solder joints and era correct caps. Pot codes are covered in solder and not visible, but pots themselves are consistent with factory materials.

Cosmetic Condition: Guitar is in good condition with plenty of scratches, dings, nicks, and wear throughout. Finish retains a nice shine, and hardware has light patina.
Serial Number: 70219
Tech Notes: Guitar plays well with optimal action and neck relief. There is a slight s-curve in the neck, with the tongue raised. Notes ring out relatively clear up and down the neck, however. Frets are average Gibson sized, and show moderate wear.
