This is a very cool old guitar. It's 100% original except: Curtis Novak managed to lose the plastic bottom plate for the Melody Maker pickup when he built me one of his "Stealth P-90" pickups I was going to use so I had to have a correct replacement made. All it actually is is a piece of pickguard plastic that the pickup screws into... Also, sometime in the last 55 years someone replaced the pots. In terms of flaws there is a very small crack in the pickguard but I had it repaired. You can see it if you look hard at the normal shots and you can see it pretty good in the closeup shots and there are some of the usual sorts of dings, etc. you'd expect in a 55 year old, played guitar. Comes in a non-original, but fairly era-correct hard case. The Novak pickup is available for an additional $115 if you want it. 1963 Gibson ES-120T Thinline, fully hollow electric archtop.
