Outstanding sound, fantastic example of a true classic - BB King and Freddy King played Walnut Semis back in the day! All original, except for a professional refret with nice medium jumbo frets - an absolute necessity, since Gibsons at the time came factory fitted with ultra low frets, that weren't comfortable to play from the beginning. Narrow and slim (but still comfortable) neck profile, out-of-phase in the middle position, varitone. + + + The guitar came in a 1978-82 red interior Gibson case (as stated in the certificate and shown in the pictures), but I will deliver it in a period-correct 1970-74 purple interior Gibson case!
