| Cosmetic Condition: | This vintage Gibson guitar is in good condition. The finish is glossy with checking throughout and scattered shallow dings and scuffs. The filled holes of the old tailpiece are visible at the end of the body. The edges of the headstock are worn and its face is cloudy.

One corner of the jack plate is not screwed down as the wood behind it is torn out. |

| Tech Notes: | The guitar plays well with low action. The frets are narrow and medium height with minimal play wear. The serial number on the back of the headstock is not original; the guitar is being dated to 1952 due to certain construction appointments, including the routes visible from within the control cavity and the filled tailpiece holes. |
