Thank you for viewing. This item was acquired, and as I am not very knowledgeable about guitars, I cannot answer specialized questions. I would appreciate it if someone with more expertise would purchase this. The guitar strings have been replaced! I checked the serial number on the back of the headstock and it appears to be a Made in America guitar manufactured before 1971. (See photo 16). However, this information may not be accurate, so please consider it as a reference only. As "Gibson" is written on the headstock, I have labeled it as a Gibson headstock. It will be shipped with the original cover. I don't think there are any major scratches or noticeable stains, but there may be oversights. Please be sure to check the photos carefully.
