Condition Report

At guitarguitar, we award our used gear a grade from 1-5 according to its overall condition, with 5 being the best.

This item was appraised as follows: 

Body: 3 out of 5 - Instrument has been used and shows evidence of its life in the forms of checking, chips and other superficial wear and tear. Metal parts and hardware may be mildly tarnished or stained and cosmetically imperfect.

Neck: 3 out of 5 - The frets have mild wear and/or pitting and may require profiling or replacement in future if the guitar is played extensively, although this work is not required immediately and the guitar plays and frets cleanly at present.

Additional Information: This Gibson has come to us in great condition for its age with lacquer checking all over, some small dings, swirl/hazing and some mild buckle rash.

This guitar has been restrung with D'Addario strings.

We take care to photograph any features, wear, tear, or modifications you might want to see before you make the decision to buy.

All of our pre-owned instruments are covered by our 12-month warranty and have been inspected, play-tested, and set up before resale.
