 THE INFO ABOVE IS FOR " DC PRO" BUT THIS GUITAR IS A GIBSON SPIRIT.  got this guitar last year on EBAY but sadly I now need to sell . THE BIRD ON HEAD STOCK AND ON BACK ON NECK CAN BE REMOVED ( is a high quality sticker ) But works to add a bit of " what is this guitar ? " to it. A very nice flame maple arch top is on this guitar and the seller said it also has Tim Shaw pickups. I found this info on the web ( Humbuckers are Gibson 1959 Les Paul Reissue models sometimes called "Tim Shaw" pickups after the Gibson engineer who led the design team). Some of these pickups have white coils and get mistaken for Dirty Fingers, but they are medium-output alnico pickups, whereas Dirty Fingers are high-output ceramic pickups.) I only know it sounds, looks and plays beautifully nearly no fret wear. I have pic of serial #  so you can look it up. I also found this on the web about these guitars also....   The Gibson Spirit is a lesser-known model produced from 1982 to 1986 by Gibson in the Nashville, Tennessee, and Kalamazoo, Michigan, factories. It was initially produced in the Kalamazoo factory. Later models were produced as Gibsons in Nashville. The Spirit appears to have been modelled after the Les Paul Junior double-cutaway model, but cutaway at the 20th fret rather than the 22nd.    I also found this on the web ...Common to all Spirit models is the flat top and back. One control cavity is routed into the rear of the guitar. All spirits have a double-cutaway design, with the upper horn slightly longer than the lower. The neck is set (glued) into the body and has 22 frets with pearl dot inlays. Some models have flamed/tiger maple tops and transparent/sunburst finishes. Truss rod covers on Spirit models vary, with most simply saying "Spirit" Humbuckers are Gibson 1959 Les Paul Reissue models (sometimes called "Tim Shaw" pickups after the Gibson engineer who led the design team). Some of these pickups have white coils and get mistaken for Dirty Fingers, but they are medium-output alnico pickups, whereas Dirty Fingers are high-output ceramic pickups.  I WILL LEAVE THE COMPENSATED NUT ON THE GUITAR if you dont want to use it  just slide it out from under the strings at the nut.  So I do not know the year but 1982 to 1986 is years these were made. NO RESERVE thanks!
