I am forced to sell one of my most treasured guitars to cover medical expenses. The guitar is in great condition. It IS a players guitar. I put about 10 years use on it before extreme arthritis caused me to have to quit playing in a band. I am 53 years old and take OCD care of my equipment. It has the usual buckle rash on the back but none through the finish. It has upgraded hardware. The stock tuners were Kluson with pale green pegs. I replaced them this year with chrome Grover low-gear ratio tuners because the stock tuners seemed to be getting loose. It has a new Tusq self-lubricating nut. It came stock with a cream colored pickup switch cap and see through gold knobs. I had mine replaced with a black switch cap and transparent black top-hat knobs...all Gibson USA. I added black Schaller strap locks (you don't want to risk dropping this guitar). I added Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates zebra pickups. It comes with the original black Gibson hardshell case with white interior, also in excellent condition.
