It's got a few knocks and dings having been the main player of it's previous owner, but thankfully not stinky or falling to bits. Smells Gibsony.
This is a bonus. Imagine the stress of gigging an immaculate guitar!
Yeah I'm stressed enough as it is, lol. I was anxious just picking it up at first, but getting used to having it and starting to enjoy it more.
The previous owner assured me that there was no cracking of the finish. Could you please reassure me that this is still the case?

And, with humbuckers, it should be very quiet at the Michael Fowler Centre.

Interestingly I am already familiar with this guitars custombuckers as they have been living in my Chibson for a while now, I bought them when the previous owner swapped them out. Since I have now acquired the rest of the guitar the pickups are back where they belong.
