This guitar is like brand new. There are three changes to the guitar that can be reversed if you wish.  One, the original pickguard was replaced with an exact copy made by Virgil Lock of WD Music from the original pickguard.  Excellent job.  As you can see in the pictures it still has the plastic on it as well and the info sticker.  The original pickguard (which has pick scratches on it) is included.  Second, the original tuners were replaced with Schaller locking tuners.  I special ordered these tuners directly from Schaller in Germany.  They are an exact fit.  I had to wait several months to get them and cost me $100.00.  I like locking tuners on all my fixed bridges.  They keep the guitar in tune better in my opinion since there is little to no wrap on the peg.  The original tuners are included if you want to switch them back.  I don't know why anyone would, but you can.  These are single pin tuners so there are not any mounting screws.  The headstock is thicker which is why I had to special order the tuners from Schaller.  Third, I added Gibson nickel pointers to the volume and tone knobs during the pickguard change.  They could easily be removed. The guitar is in perfect shape.  Remember it has a distressed white finish so it is made to look worn, but is brand new.  The pickup is a Gibson Burstbucker 3 zebra.  It has a kill switch on it as well. More details here if you care to read:  The original Gibson case is in mint shape as well and includes the original paperwork, hang tag and wrench.No returns or refunds on the guitar as it is described very accurately.  Please look at the pictures and ask any questions before buying.  I will be glad to answer any questions or provide more specific pictures.Whoever gets this guitar will not be disappointed. It will ship in a guitar box, carefully packed and detuned so it arrives undamaged.  It will ship for free via UPS Ground to anywhere in the Continental US only.Thanks for looking!
