One pickup has a 1980 date (possibly replaced later)
Other modifications to the electronics have been made.
[Condition] There are what appear to be original knobs inside the case, but one screw hole is stripped, making it impossible to put them back as a set.
Three knobs have been replaced.
The electronics also show signs of resoldering, the capacitors have been replaced with Orange Drop capacitors, and two of the three control pots have been replaced.
The remaining pot has a 1973 date, but it is unclear if it is an original part.
The guitar is equipped with two Gibson T-Top type pickups with patent number stamps.
Note that the bridge pickup has a date stamp that reads "APR 7 1980," suggesting it may have been replaced at a later date.
As this is a 1979 model, the body, neck, and headstock show signs of age-related wear, including scratches, dents, and paint chips.
The white finish has yellowed overall, giving it a unique patina from years of aging.
Fret remaining: Approximately 80% (previously replaced, currently jumbo frets)
