This is a player. Stays in tune, sounds great. And it's got character! Cigarette burns on the headstock, buckle rash on the back, and all the marks of a legendary musical journey. I bought it in the 90's at an instrument shop in Reno, Nevada. I had to fix it up a bit. Got new frets put on by Bill Asher in LA and I replaced the bridge with a genuine Gibson part. Everything else is original. I've played it at a lot of shows and on a lot of recordings. I truly love this guitar. I just don't play it much anymore because it's heavy and I've developed more of a penchant for strats. I'd like to see it go to someone who will play it more. I hope it will mean as much to you as it has to me.
