Description

Summary: This unique solid walnut Gibson has been played and gigged quite a bit but has no cracks, breaks or visible repairs to mention. The neck pickup is a Gibson T-Top and the bridge pickup is a vintage Dimarzio Super Distortion. Our in-house guitar tech has just inspected, setup and restrung this guitar with a new set of 10s and it is playing great despite there being a fair amount of fretwear. It ships in a vintage Gibson hardshell case with purple plush interior.

Body: This is a solid walnut body with light natural finish, belly and arm contours.

Neck: 3 piece walnut set neck, 22 frets, ebony fingerboard, pearl dots, 24.75 in. scale, 1.6875 in. nut width, gold silk screen logo and “The Paul” truss rod cover.

Pickups/Hardware: It has a Gibson T Top humbucker in the neck position and a Dimarzio Super Distortion in the bridge position, Grover tuners, chrome tune-o-matic bridge and tailpiece, 3 way toggle and 2 volumes 2 tones.

Cosmetics: This guitar has lots of wear consistent with a well-worn and heavily gigged instrument from the late 70s. There is wear through the finish on the top where a pickguard would normally be, lots of nicks, dings, scratches and heavy buckle rash. The finish on the back of the neck has been completely played off and has a soft burnished feel from excessive play. There is some patina on the nickel plated tuning keys, yellowing of the plastic parts and some hazy patina in what’s left of the finish. There is a significant amount of fretwear but it really doesn’t affect the playability much.

Playability: Our in-house guitar tech has just inspected, setup and restrung this guitar with a new set of 10s. The neck is straight, the truss rod is fully functioning and the action has been setup low and comfortable. The frets are pretty worn with grooves and divots from use but it still plays beautifully up and down the fingerboard.

Modifications: The bridge pickup is a non-original Dimarzio super distortion.

Weight: 8 lbs, 3.5 oz.

Case: This Gibson comes with a nice vintage Gibson hardshell case with purple plush interior and we will ship it professionally packed and fully insured!
