Looks really nice but alas, a copy. A nice one, but a copy. Someone had spilled somethng really nasty on it and it was sold like that. The owner took it apart and painstakingly cleaned it up to reveal just how pretty it is and how nicely this was put together. It was badly out of whack, but a full setup and adjustment brought it up to fantastic playing shape and it sounded really nice when plugged in too. I had fun putting it through the paces while I had it. I think it would be a great gigging guitar as it sounds plenty good enough to front a group but you wouldn't be risking your 5K Gibson on the road.
