Condition & Originality
The guitar shows attractive natural aging and normal vintage wear consistent with a roughly 40-year-old instrument. The original Alpine White finish has developed a distinctive cream/ivory patina, particularly around the body edges and hardware.
Photos show no obvious evidence of a major headstock break or repair.
The control cavity retains period-style Gibson construction, including the metal shielding plate, CTS-type potentiometers, ceramic capacitors and vintage-style wiring.
