However, the original frets show no severe wear; upon close inspection, only minimal traces of wear are visible around the 1st to 3rd frets, suggesting that the guitar was not used for serious playing.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe deterioration of the plating and the patina on the metal parts, which have occurred naturally over time, are not the result of VOS-spec finished hardware, but rather represent authentic aging with a natural, genuine texture.\u003cbr\u003e \nThere are no irregularities in the solder work on the control circuitry, nor are there any signs of tampering; therefore, I cannot help but feel that this is a rare specimen that continues to function perfectly in fully original, “solder-virgin” condition—from each pickup all the way to the Switchcraft output jack.\u003cbr\u003e \nWhile this guitar is by no means like new and has numerous scratches, it has no critical damage or breakage; therefore, we would appreciate it if you could approach this purchase with the mindset of acquiring a guitar with a natural, authentic aged look.\u003cbr\u003e \n(The Gibson Custom Shop Historic Collection certificate—which resembled a Japanese award certificate and was included at the time—is missing.)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nDistinctive Specifications and Materials\u003cbr\u003e \nBody: 1-piece mahogany\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e \nFingerboard: Ebony\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck Pickup: Gibson Staple Soapbar\u003cbr\u003e \nBridge Pickup: Gibson P-90 Soapbar\u003cbr\u003e \nOptions: Bigsby vibrato tailpiece, Original Kalamazoo Line B7G\/Gold\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nCondition: B: Shows significant wear and signs of use, but is in good working condition for normal use\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nSerial Number: 4 5092\u003cbr\u003e \nYear of Manufacture: 2005\u003cbr\u003e \nCountry of Manufacture: USA\u003cbr\u003e \nCase: Hard Case\u003cbr\u003e \nAccessories: Pre-pack checklist (Date: Not listed), brief English manual, various tags, HC key (original certificate of authenticity is missing)\u003cbr\u003e \nWeight: 4.63 kg (including Bigsby vibrato tailpiece B7G: 354 g)\u003cbr\u003e \nTruss Rod: No issues; rod movement confirmed up to 60 degrees in both directions with no problems\u003cbr\u003e \nRemaining Fret Wear: Within normal range; fret height is sufficient for playability\u003cbr\u003e \nString Height (Low String Side): 2.0 mm at the 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e \nString action (treble side): 1.5 mm at the 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e \nNut width: 42.85 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck thickness near the 1st fret: 23.1 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck thickness near the 12th fret: 25.3 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nScale: 628 mm (24.75\")\u003cbr\u003e \nRADIUS: 305 mm (12\")\u003cbr\u003e \nStrings at Setup: ERNIE BALL 2221 \/ .010-.046 set\u003cbr\u003e \nRepairs and Maintenance: Cleaning, string replacement, truss rod adjustment, octave adjustment, action adjustment\u003cbr\u003e \nOther: The fingerboard material is ebony.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n* As this is a used item, there may be scratches, dents, and other imperfections that are not clearly visible in the photos or not listed here.
