Heavily Modded Gibson Sonex 180 Custom
It appears as if the neck and body are the only things original about the guitar. Comes with aftermarket case that fits the guitar well, but it has many stickers on it. The guitar is clean, plays well, and doesn't have any issues electronically. This thing has well over $1,000 worth of parts in upgrades alone. I'd hate to see it get stripped for that but I understand if that is your intention. Please see images of dings, ect. Also note that the wiring schematic that was used naturally has pickup positions that do not pass audio. This is the nature of the schematic. Please read the following (very detailed) specs from the owner who modded it:
