NOTE: It's hard to tell whether the Maple top is 2-peice or 3-piece but as this features an Ebony finish, I'm certain we gave a 3-piece Maple top.

All original gold hardware with Nashville bridge and tailpiece, output jack plate, strap buttons and keeping you in tune are the original set of Gibson logo Shaller (Germany) tuners in perfect working order.
All original plastics.
Comes with non-original 1990s Gibson USA Hardshell Case, made in Canada. Combination lock unused, all latches, lock and handle in working order. 1 rear hinge is on the way out. Also included is the original control cavity shield with screws. I revomed this as it was causing some issues with the response of the tone pots.
Serviced and setup here at Cushmic Sounds with D'Addario 10-46 strings, frets cleaned and polished, fretboard cleaned and lightly oiled, electronics cleaned, tested and working perfectly, truss rod adjusted and works as it should, all hardware cleaned and secured.
Original frets are on the lower side and showing minor wear, but playability is still excellent.
Overall condition is 7.5/10 (Very Good). The top features incredible light checking throughout, light worming on the back while the rest of the guitar shows all the usual signs from being loved over the years, mostly from home use.
Considering this is an almost 50 year old vintage instrument, the condition is very good!
No breaks, structural cracks or repairs.
