The tuners had been replaced with Grover Rotomatics at one point, but era-correct Klusons were reinstalled, with four of the tuners marked as true Kluson double lines and two marked 'Gibson', which had made their way onto Gibsons in the 1970s. Some light and clean finish touchup was performed on the peghead, likely to even out the marks left by the Grover bushings. Kluson conversion bushings were installed as well. However, there's no evidence of any headstock breaks or subsequent repair under blacklight.

The body was factory-routed for three pickups indicating its potential designation for a Custom model, but the middle position route has remained unused, and the specs of the instrument indicate it never made it up the chain to that Custom status.

It comes with a proper period-correct rectangle Gibson hardshell with the form-fitting plush interior. The latches have been replaced but work nicely, and someone hand-stenciled 'Gibson' where the prior logo would've been.
