TV finish, all stock except has repro tuners (originals in the case). This was purchased in 1961, wait that’s not the right word. This was a gift to a 17 year old in 1961 who did not warm up to it and put it away. This is in perfect condition for the collector/player. First, it’s 100% even the jack plate. The original tuners have shrunken buttons so are safely tucked away. We put on aged repros because you want to play this. The original frets have no wear.

It has enough wear to not get too fussy over. Has some dings, jean rivet wear and weather checking but no cracks and nothing ugly. The finish on the back of the neck is smooth. It has honest playing wear and is super light at 7.4 pounds. See our video on this guitar. We feel this is one of the most undervalued pre ’65 solid body guitars out there. Comes with the sexiest Gibson case, the brown hard shell and a hang tag, the whole package. The pickups sound killer with a beautfiul quacky out of phase sound when both pickups are on.

The finish is like your old blackguard Tele. Called Limed Mahogany by the 40’s furniture designer Herman Miller and A Brandy who both made collectible mid century furniture. But the solid body guitar changed the world. Rock and Roll will never die and 50’s Gibsons and Fenders are iconic.
