Serviced and setup here at Cushmic Sounds with D'Addario 10-46 strings, frets cleaned and polished, fretboard cleaned and lightly oiled, intonation and action set, truss rod tested and works as it should, electronics cleaned, tested and working perfectly, all hardware cleaned and secured.
Overall condition is 5/10. There are various scratches, scrapes, dings and finish checking throughout. The 3-piece top is showing two horizontal finish cracks running parallel. This is also referred to as "minor separation" and can be common for a well loved and played vintage Gibson of this era. The Pancake construction is also showing some finish cracks/separation. Don't worry though, it's not going to fall apart on you!
The good news; NO headstock breaks, cracks or repairs!
