| Modifications/Repairs: | The body and neck have been oversprayed. The neck has been refretted and reset. The binding was cut through and refilled in the process. At some point, a floating pickup was installed between the humbuckers and, upon removal, spots of wear on the top were drop filled. Some solder joints have been touched up. |

| Cosmetic Condition: | This vintage Gibson guitar has aged well and is in good condition. The finish is glossy with some light wear: some checking, light surface scratching, and some small, shallow dings. Between the humbuckers is some visible wear from a floating pickup that had previously been installed and since removed and drop filled. At the neck joint, the finish is glossier than surrounding areas due to being buffed after the neck was reset. The metal hardware is lightly tarnished with age. |
| Serial Number: | 70668041 |
| Tech Notes: | The guitar plays well with low action and optimal neck relief. The frets are medium with minimal play wear. The serial number dates to 1978. |
