| Cosmetic Condition: | This vintage Gibson guitar has aged well and is in good condition. The finish is glossy with checking throughout and some small dings.

The inlays in the fingerboard have been thinned out due to the replaning, with the seventh partially cracking away. The back of the headstock shows the footprints and empty screw holes of the original tuners. The Gibson logo and headstock inlay have their defining lines worn away and are now just solid shapes. The edges of the headstock are well worn, with some chips. The metal hardware is lightly tarnished with age. |
| Serial Number: | 850884 |
| Tech Notes: | The guitar plays well with low action and optimal neck relief. The frets are medium with minor play wear. The serial number dates to 1969. |
