She was just born a few weeks ago and has never been owned! In fact, with the exception of my testing it out before writing this ad, she's completely unplayed! I just picked this up from the original retailer, who shipped the guitar to me only a few days after receiving it from Gibson. There are no nicks, dings or scratches to be found! The neck is straight with no cracks or repairs... The frets are perfect with their entire life ahead of them... And the sound is amazing!! Also included is the original Gibson Custom Shop hard shell case (shown in the pictures) which is also in perfect condition, and even includes the case candy and the special gold 50th Anniversary Certificate of Authenticity, as shown in the last picture! Whoever wins this sweet guitar is going to be STOKED!!
