I am the original owner bought it new last year from Chicago Music Exchange. FYI, I've owned two of these, returned the first one that had mediocre workmanship and low output for a humbucker guitar and contacted CME about the one they had. Without hesitation they had confidence a picky buyer like me would like theirs saying that all the guitars they buy are handpicked by the owner. This one has impeccable workmanship and the output is like any other Gibson with buckers. I'm getting almost completely away from electric only reason is to fund an acoustic purchase.Near mint condition, never gigged nor taken out of my smoke free home. The mini-buckers are alnico II like '57 classics they sound the same to me. Neck isn't 60's slim nor 50's fat, but in between the two it's very comfortable to play.
