| Case Details: | Hardshell case. |
| Cosmetic Condition: | This vintage Gibson guitar has aged well and is in good condition. The finish is glossy with light surface scratching and shallow dings throughout. The top around the switch shows the footprint of where the poker tip originally was. The knobs have some small chips. The back of the body shows some light buckle rash and a finish chip near its middle. The neck finish is well worn, with a large section of exposed wood. The metal hardware is lightly tarnished and pitted with age. |
| Serial Number: | 961645 |
| Tech Notes: | The guitar plays well with low action and optimal neck relief. The frets are wide and medium height with moderate play wear. The serial number dates to 1972, but the three piece maple neck suggests a 1974 date. The guitar has been marked as a factory second. |
