Neck Details: Mahogany neck with a bound rosewood fingerboard and small block inlays. The fingerboard has been re-fretted and the neck has been reset. The headstock appears to not be original but instead a factory replacement from Gibson from a later year. This is apparent due to the presence of two scarf joints under the nut and first frets. The pointed triangle inlays are constant with 1968 while the serial number dates to 1967. In addition there is a headstock repair above the scarf joint from a later date that has been finished over. This area of over-spray/refin is apparent under black light while the rest of the guitar is consistent with a Gibson factory finish.

Modifications/Repairs: -At some point, the headstock was replaced by Gibson. This is apparent due to the presence of two scarf joints under the nut and first frets.
