These are pretty much the only affordable Gibson Ace model for most of us, so get one while you can as I do believe they’ll steadily go up in value. This one is in simply amazing shape except for the 2 minuscule “nicks” on the lower back edge. Ive included several photos of these 2 spots, including one back view photo where I’ve put a piece of green tape to show you exactly where these spots are. Original case is in amazing shape as well, I always keep my cases in protective plastic bags. Ive strummed this a few times but never plugged it in so it really has little to no playwear to speak of. Maybe a few pick scratches on the pickguard that you could polish out if you wanted it dead mint. I’m not a Les Paul player whatsoever, this was just eye candy for me as a lifelong KISS Fan. let me know if you have any questions. If you’re near Indianapolis we can work out a cash discount deal. If you’re outside of the USA then send me your address for shipping estimates. Check my other listings for an autographed and aged Ace Budokan and also an Ace Frehley owned 97 custom.
