The original owner took lessons with the guitar for two years then packed it away until 2012 when I found and purchased it. I used it for 1 gig and I mainly used it for recording and as a collection piece. It's in excellent condition no chips or scratches other than general wear. Chrome is still in good shape with no real oxidation. Weighs in at 11 pounds and has a fat, bold tone. The neck plays like butter. Guitar stays in tune well and is all original parts, no mods other than strap locks. It has a beautiful, molded hard shell Gibson USA case with blue fur lining. Great video of me playing the guitar in a collaboration video!
