Other: A 1998 Gibson Custom ES-5 with P-90 pickups has arrived. This instrument is now 28 years old. It shows scratches, dents, and dings consistent with its age,deterioration of plating and polishing marks on metal parts, paint cracks caused by thinning of the finish around the Gibson logo and other areas (such as near the binding and wood glue joints), and cracks on the control knobs that may be attributed to aging. However, we believe these are within a range that users familiar with Gibson or vintage guitars will find acceptable.In particular, scratches around the bridge saddle on the body top—likely caused by moving the saddle during string length adjustment—are noticeable upon close inspection, but since the finish is natural, they may be less noticeable once you start playing.Although the condition is listed as "B" due to scratches around the bridge seat, there are no issues with the neck grip or damage that would hinder playing, so you may feel it is in "B+" condition. Considering its age, the signs of wear are mild, suggesting this instrument was handled and stored with great care.
