Letting go of the first and only guitar I've ever had.
Since I am in Spain, European buyers have the upper hand cause US buyers will get clobbered by S&H and Customs fees...
A thing of beauty-low action beautiful tone, original pickups, etc.
Was "restored" by an ex Gibson Luthier who lived in Kalamazoo and worked in the Gibson plant until it closed down, so he opened his own shop, his name was Aaron Cowles. His son is carrying the torch and still has the business going. I have the receipt from when he worked on it. He repainted it (even asked an ex workmate at Gibson to check what kind of paint to use) and transferred the fretboard and headstock to a new neck. It was about $1,000 USD...
The s/n was 104020 and it was stamped in the back of the headstock along with a "Made in USA" stamp.
Trust me , it is better than vintage....
Letting you guys know cause this is my favorite corner of the internet and would give you a heads up , just in case you wanted a beuaty like this in your collection...
You can see it in action on the video I posted a few years ago...
