The previous owner bought this guitar used in 1967 in downtown Baltimore, not too far from our store location. It's quite possible that there may have only been two owners.
To our knowledge, the following items are NOT original: The tailpiece is from a ES-150T guitar. The pickups are not original and the pickup cavity has been routed slightly to accept the humbucking pickups. The current Gibson pickups installed in this guitar have a Patent No. 2737 842 stamped on the back of each pickup. The frets appear to be original. Everything else appears to be original.
