Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
More of this, please! As usual, a reach into Gibson's past yields Gibson Gold. The bracing, the hide glue, the thin finish, bone nut and saddle--all of this and more adds up to an instrument of "old buddy for life" proportions!
SP Luthier Notes: Fret Dress and Setup
