It’s got a great Tri-Burst (sunburst) colour, nicely figured maple back and sides. Fantastic pickups, and a 60s style Gibson neck. Custom shop case.

The 24.75″ scale length 3-piece neck is made of maple with ebony fretboard and 22 frets with a split diamond mother of pearl headstock inlay. It also includes split diamond mother of pearl fretboard inlays for a very elegant look. The neck has a rounded profile and Grover Keystone tuners. It is bound with a white binding
It has Patent Number ’57 Classic pickups. There are two volume controls and two tone controls, one for each pickup. There is an additional custom overriding sweep tone control. The 3-way pickup selector is in the standard configuration: Bridge, Bridge+Neck, and Neck
