FULLY DOCUMENTED

Ships with the original Gibson factory QC / quality-checklist card matching

this guitar: Model No. LPSTUAWCH1, Serial No. 160094271, factory-inspected

and packed 8/10/2016. The serial on the headstock rear matches the card

exactly — both are photographed together in this listing. Also included:

the original Gibson USA hardshell case and the Gibson USA owner's manual[,

plus the original warranty card and factory truss rod wrench].

WHY THE "T" MATTERS

2016 was the year Gibson split the line. The HP models shipped with G-Force

robot tuners and a zero-fret adjustable nut. This is the T (Traditional) —

standard tuners, standard nut, no motorized electronics to fail down the

road. It's the spec most players actually want out of that year, and it's

the harder one to find.

CONDITION — GRADED EXCELLENT, DESCRIBED HONESTLY

This guitar was played and cared for, not sealed in a closet. Here is

exactly what you are getting, no surprises at the door:

- THE FINISH HAS AMBERED. After ten years the nitro over Alpine White has

warmed to a cream/ivory tone. This is normal, expected aging on white

Gibsons and it is not damage, but I am calling it out up front. All

photos are shot in neutral daylight and show the true current color.

- Light swirl marks and minor scuffing on the headstock face, visible

under direct light. Shown in the photos.

- [DESCRIBE THE BACK HERE — e.g. "No dings, dents, or buckle rash on the

back." OR "Light buckle rash on the back, shown in photo 4."]

- No breaks, no cracks, no headstock repair. No refinish. No modifications.

All hardware, pickups, pots and wiring are factory original with

untouched solder joints.

- Frets: approximately [XX]% life remaining, no divots or flat spots.

- All electronics tested and functioning correctly — both pickups, the

toggle, all four pots, and both coil taps. No crackle or dropouts.

- Neck is straight, truss rod turns freely in both directions, action set

at [X/XX]" at the 12th fret.

- Case: original Gibson USA hardshell, structurally solid, all latches and

the handle intact. Two previous-owner stickers on the exterior are shown

in the photos — I left them rather than peel them and risk marking the

case.

Fresh strings, full setup, and a complete cleaning done before listing.
