Used and Vintage experts.
| Finish Details: | The lack of serial number and several small touchups/filled holes on the body suggest this guitar is refinished. The refin was likely done a long time ago because the guitar is authentically aged and appears old under black light. |

| Cosmetic Condition: | This vintage Gibson guitar has aged well and is in good condition. The finish is glossy with checking, scuffs, and some small finish chips throughout. The top shows a wide, but shallow dent on the bass side horn. The upper horn also shows the empty screw hole of a previously installed strap button. The back of the body shows some scratches and small finish chips. The back of the neck is well worn, with finish chips down its length. The edges of the headstock show wear and some chips in the wood. The headstock's face shows the footprints of previously installed tuners. The metal hardware is tarnished with age. |
| Serial Number: | N/A |
| Tech Notes: | The guitar plays well with low action and optimal neck relief. The frets are wide and medium height with minimal play wear. Due to the appointments, we are dating this guitar to 1960. |
