Beautiful After Norlin let go of Gibson in 1986 the new owners made their best effort to minimize the drama about quality during the Norlin years–personally some of my favorite Gibsons came from those years but I do understand that the quality was mixed. This guitar is the first post-Norlin year and Gibson really tried to get it right for its diminishing fan base–the guitar is heavy with huge sustain and has true ebony fretboard and gold grover tuners and gold hardware–the inlays are real mop and Gibson went back to the one piece body here instead of the pancake. The guitar is in very good cosmetic condition with some checking you can see in the scans and some worming on the back — the neck is nice and the frets are excellent==there’s no funky odors on the guitar or the case which is a Gibson USA logo case and I was told by the first owner that it is original. The one thing to report is that the grovers have lost most of their gold and the patina is worn with some fairly extensive pitting which I have shown in 3 different scans–the tuners work perfectly and hold tune.
