Condition Report:
The guitar has been enjoyed throughout its life so far and is in good condition overall. The Nitrocellulose finish has started to check nicely with age, very similar to the techniques that the Gibson Custom Shop tries to replicate on new guitars. There are a few dinks/marks/scratches which we’ve tried to show in the photographs but can be hard to see unless under close inspection. The guitar suffered from a couple of hairline cracks around the bottom of the headstock which is a weak point on most Gibson guitars. These cracks were very minor and the guitar has not suffered any headstock breaks. These hairline cracks were professionally repaired and the back of the headstock was re-sprayed in Nitrocellulose lacquer (please see pictures for reference). After 19 years of enjoyment, the frets needed replacing – all frets have now been replaced along with a new Tusq nut, bridge saddle, and bridge pins. She now sings just like she should! A receipt is also included for the work completed.
