Cosmetic Condition: This vintage Gibson guitar is well aged and in good condition. The finish is glossy with extensive checking, some scattered dings and dents, and finish wear throughout. There is heavier finish wear and chipping on the bass side of the lower bout and back of the guitar, and some chips on the neck joint, the back of the neck, and on the treble side of the neck binding. An empty screw hole for a strap button is visible on the back of the guitar near the neck joint. The neck pickup ring is cracked, but this will not affect playability.
