Greetings,The cliche that people play hard good sounding guitars is very applicable in this case. I have not had the pleasure of listening to such great sounding and full of overtones piece. Yes, it is very worn, yes, the frets are very low and there's a slight buzz BUT everything else is intact - all original and unmodified! The pots are clean and fully operational, the Tim Shaw mini buckers are absolutely amazing (the bridge pickup is a little low as the screw is rusted so I couldn't raise it without further intervention). The neck is straight and it has slight relief per Gibson spec. The truss rod is fully operational - there are no humps, no dips. The frets have gouges in the first 5 frets - clearly a blues player's piece. There have never been any repairs/breaks and the finish is the factory one (I have blacklighted the guitar and it conforms all the traits for the time period). The tuners have been replaced with gibson ones and extra holes were drilled. The back of the neck's finish is down the bare wood from playing and all the wear is consistent throughout. No better charisma than true honest players' wear and the sound is extremely appealing to me personally. It is a heavy guitar (maybe in the 10 lbs) but that doesn't mean anything to me once I plug it in. It comes with very worn Epiphone hard shell case. It is as described with no returns and no partial refunds. Final sale!Ask questions before bidding - I will not honor buyer's remorse or any other schemey policy bending excuses for returns! I am looking for a straightforward and easy transaction!Take it away!Thanks
