Here's The Run Down: This is A Super Cool & Rare Vintage 1939 Gibson ES-100 that is in excellent playing condition but was stripped and completely refinished long long ago, and the final result on the finish itself isn't the prettiest (see pics).  It is in the cosmetic condition shown, so be sure to see all of the pics (see pics).  I tried to take really good pics, so you can judge for yourself (see pics).  There are NO breaks or repairs that I can see.  The neck is straight, neck joint tight with a working truss rod. I see NO signs of ever having any neck repairs.  All electronics work and sound great, but the pots are just a little scratchy.  Definitely a super cool "very playable" pre war guitar for NOT a lot of money!This Vintage Gibson ES100 plays great!  Although I think its set up great, everyone has their own preferences. If your not happy with its set up, it will be your responsibility and cost to have it set up to your liking.   The neck is straight, the truss rod operates properly, it plays great with low string height from one end to the other, with plenty of room on the bridge!This guitar will be properly packaged & shipped in the case pictured.  Everything operates as it should, and has never had, nor does it have any breaks or repairs unless noted above.
