Nitro ebony finish on a mahogany body with a slim style neck and 22 fret rosewood fingerboard, it weighs 4kg's. Loaded with Seymour Duncan SH-1N/SH-5 humbuckers along with the original Grover tuners and Gibson hardware along with the original brown/pink hardcase.  Good overall condition with some cosmetic bumps and bruises but no breaks or repairs. The neck is straight and the frets are shiny and smooth with plenty of life left.
