With Hardshell Case! Completely original with the exception of new Gibson Deluxe tuners (old ones wore out), a two-way adjustable bridge, heavy duty vibrato, adjustable truss rod, and individual pickup controls (off/on.) The body is fiberglass similar to Res-O-Glass bodies. The serial number is 2A-69; stamped on the base of the fretboard (a la Mosrite) which is Brazinal rosewood. The frets are in good shape. A small part of the "f-hole" decal has torn off, can be replaced or just remove it. The guitar includes a TKL hardshell case that's a good fit and in very good shape itself...
