This baby plays beatifully and looks absolutely brand new. Believe it or not, I traded a new Gibson ES-335 for this (even up) about 10 years ago. I think I got the best end of the deal!

wow. mint condition. i'm hoping to get mine somewhere near that condition. i'm replacing my corroded out kahler system with a chrome fixed bridge kahler system. my original tuning pegs are chrome so i thought i'd match them. i'm not quite into gold and i'm not into the even more radical change to black hardware.

yeah, i picked mine up at a local music store for around $300 dollars back in '90. i had no clue what i had purchased. it's nearly criminal.
