It’s a damn nice guitar

Old Grovers clearly put on a million years ago, original keys not included
Refretted with slightly larger than original sized frets
Comes in a 70s Gibson les paul case
Pros:
Nice comfortable weight
Beautiful fairly worn original TV finish with no overspray and no repairs whatsoever
Big chunky kick ass neck
It’s already got a music city bridge on it
all original parts otherwise
This guitar plays great, sounds great, looks great
