| Modifications/Repairs: | The tuners and knobs have been replaced. The original tuners are included in the case.

The sides of the body on the treble side upper bout and bass side lower bout show some repaired cracks. |

| Cosmetic Condition: | This vintage Gibson guitar has aged well and is in good condition. The finish is glossy with checking, small finish chips, and some small dings. The sides of the body on the treble side upper bout and bass side lower bout show some repaired cracks. The edges of the headstock are well worn, with dings and wear through the varnish. The metal hardware is tarnished with age. |
| Tech Notes: | The guitar plays well with low action and optimal neck relief. The frets are narrow and low with light play wear. The factory order number has faded, but the appointments date the guitar roughly to the 1950s. Due to the pot codes, we are dating the guitar to 1953. |
