ORIGINALITY All original as far as I know: pickups, pots [dated, Gibson-stamped gold tuners, Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece, black speed knobs, pickguard and bracket, Rhythm/Treble ring, truss rod cover. [No headstock or neck repairs.] Original frets with plenty of life left; three frets were spot-leveled during a professional setup, September 21 2026.

"SECOND" STAMP The headstock is factory-stamped "SECOND" below the serial number. Gibson used this for instruments with minor cosmetic flaws at the factory. It has no effect on playability or sound.

Plays and sounds great, ready to go. Setup invoice available on request. Weight: approx. 10.8 lbs (no weight relief, as original for 1980).
