The gloss Honey Burst nitro lacquer finish highlights the curly flame figuring which extends evenly with great dimension across the AAA maple cap. The top presents very cleanly, with just a couple minor marks and some additional small dings on the back and lower bout perimeter. The neck profile retains its smooth nitro gloss save for an area of shallow rack rash central to the carve behind frets 6-7 that has been buffed smooth.
A black tolex Gibson USA hardshell case is included, along with the serialized hangtags and original (never installed) pickguard.
