It's far from mint, but that way I'll actually get to play it outside:
Some issues it has/had that made it cheaper:
-Didn't have original knobs. I replaced with modern Gibson Gold Top Hat Reflectors until I can afford real vintage stuff.
-Scratch plate is original but has had holes drilled into it, bracket is missing. Ordering a modern Gibson equivalent until I feel that paying for neat original is worth it.
-Crack on upper f-hole, not going further, but it's there.
-Chip out of binding on the 6th fret.
Couple of nice things:
-Tuners haven't disintegrated like they do some some of these guitars.
-Original pickup selector knobs (those things normally go missing FAST).
-Plays beautifully with 11s after I set it up.
-Not to clean to play outside.
-Fully hollow.
-P90s!
I just need to organise a shim for the bridge pickup and on that note, I'm considering buying the Lollar package of shims, but I have to buy like 3 of them to get over his 20$ minimum purchase limit.
Would anyone like to buy some of them from me should I order them?
