QR Code Link to This Post
Nice instrument with OHSC purchased from Guitar Center in 2014. I removed the locking latch since I was not provided the combination. I’d say the condition is Good to Very Good, except for oxidizing on hardware closest to pickguard. See YouTube video of instrument at https://youtu.be/qMfA9Ju2NpI. Gibson indicated this is sometimes caused by the material used for the pickguards during extended time inside case. They provided a replacement pickguard recently, but would not replace any hardware. This is a cosmetic issue that does not seem to effect the instruments playability or sound. See performance videos at various YouTube links below.
Instrument electronics are a bit complicated, with a six-way Varitone switch for tonal shaping, two pickups, and two output jacks. Both volume controls require adjustment regardless of toggle position, so wiring may have been previously modified.
Plays and sounds amazing with a sustain that seems to go on forever.
