I’ve had this guitar for about about two years, and I received it post headstock repair. The integrity of the instrument is very solid, and I haven’t had any issues with it(truss rod works). There is a lot of cosmetic wear on the guitar, but that’s to be expected for a 45 year old guitar, and Reverb only allows me to attach 25 photos to the listing, so please contact me for the remaining photos. The guitar has also been upgraded in numerous ways:

-Gotoh Vintage Locking Keystone Tuners(nickel)

-Kluson Harmonica Tune-O-Matic bridge(thought it was nickel, but it’s chrome)

-Kluson Zinc stop tail(nickel)

-Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pros(4 conductor)

-Controls: Master volume(outer coil-split push-pull), Master Tone(inner coil-split push-pull), 3rd knob/pot isn’t wired.
-Schaller strap locks(nickel)
The guitar is currently in eb standard with 10-52 gauge strings. I have also been told that the frets are stainless steel by the tech that set the guitar up. They definitely feel smoother than anything else in my collection, but they’ve definitely been on the guitar for a while, so they were leveled when the guitar was setup. Judging by the size of my Gibson’s that have medium-jumbo fret wire, I’d say that these are at least Jumbo. All of the original parts the guitar came with are also included(bridge,tuners,pickups,etc.). One of the original pickups is double-cream as it should be, but the other is black. The patent numbers on the back are both the same though(2.737,842 and are actually pretty pricey if you type those numbers in on Reverb search). The case has a magenta interior, but there is structural damage to the back of it(head area), so I’ll make sure to use plenty of bubble wrap for safe transit. Offers and local pickup are always an option, but shipping is only available to the lower 48 states within the United States, and the price includes insurance and signature confirmation. I am also always happy to answer/address any questions/concerns, so please ask at anytime. Thank you for your time!
