This example is in good condition for its age. It shows only light play wear consistent with normal use. The finish is vibrant, neck is straight, frets have good life remaining, and all electronics function perfectly. These Gem Series guitars are relatively rare, especially in the attractive Ruby finish, and offer that classic P-90 growl and warmth with a lighter, more comfortable Studio body.A fantastic player’s guitar with vintage Gibson character and eye-catching looks — great for blues, rock, indie, and more.
