This could be the cleanest Gibson v-90 you'll ever see. It has two reversible modifications, which include better quality strap buttons, and the bridge posts to the Steinberger tremolo  were replaced with thicker, higher quality versions than the originals. These were added simply to enhance the performance and safety of the guitar. The pickup is a vintage EMG 81, which I do not believe is original to this model, though I could be wrong, there were several variations on this model.The neck on this Gibson is rather unusual. If you've owned a Gibson before then you know the necks can feel likes baseball bats in your hand. This neck is super thin and very reminiscent of a USA Jackson/ Ibanez neck. The body is also slightly smaller than a typical Gibson V, making this completely unique from anything Gibson offers today. It comes with a leg rest (another Steinberger creation) that makes playing while sitting down comfortable. The bridge can operate either as a fixed bridge or a floating tremolo by the flip of one switch. The tremolo can be switched back and forth without requiring any tools, springs, etc. There is no back plate to take off, all bridge adjustments are made through the front. The original hardshell case comes with the guitar. This is the brown leather exterior and pink felt interior USA Gibson case. The case has a built in pink felt shroud to cover the guitar from anything that might fall into the case while opening it. The case itself  is in very good condition and has all the original latches, except for the locking latch in the middle. The case has some scuffs and scratches but is in relatively great condition for it being original leather and going on 30 years old. I generally only ship on Wednesdays and Saturdays, but will make exceptions whenever I can.This will be a very large package and shipping fees will reflect that. Guitar will be fully insured when shipped.
