The necks from this era are slim and fast with a meaty taper, but not flattened out on the back like early 60s necks can be. It's very comfortable to play, and the original frets are in great shape.

It's a very clean LP overall, and while a few parts have been changed out, it has its original finish, is free of breaks or repairs, and has its original Patent Stamp humbuckers which sound fantastic! The pickup mounting rings were swapped out (existing rings were cracked and reglued in a few spots and were a bit touchy), and both volume pots have been replaced where the originals had failures at the internal shafts. The knobs were also replaced, as the prior aftermarket knobs didn't quite seat properly on the pots.

The guitar is accompanied by a modern Gibson hardshell case that's in great shape, missing just one latch on the treble side.
