This guitar looks and plays like a dream. It has the perfect set up and sound.
8 lb 15 ozOwned by two collectors before me, last owner played her some as I do. He had upgraded to vintage nylon nut, Historic pointer knobs, Luxe 550K pots, bumble bee caps. Schaller strap locks, and Stainless Dunlop 6150 Med jumbo frets. These upgrades put this guitar over the top.  I have information about the high-end Luthier shop where the work was done.  Never gigged, always at home in it's case. Smoke free environments.
Played 3- 4 times a year right here at home. First owner was strictly a collector and it was never played until second owner.There is a few small blemishes, one on the lower side, and some small finish indents around the control knob area...I could not get these to show in a picture, but they can be seen by the eye.This top is unique and outstanding, the 3-D affect of the flame is awesome.Best of all is how it plays and sounds, it is one of the best., original 57 Gibson PAF's. Comes with original Gibson Tweed case.I will ship for $65.00 to lower 48, anywhere else will be the actual shipping cost at best estimate
