The Gimme was another Les Paul copy. It had plastic covered humbuckers, tall gold knobs and an elevated pickguard. All original Golden Sunburst with OHSC which plays and sounds fantastic.
All electronics work well and the neck is super straight, and the frets are in good condition.
Body only shows a few signs of wear for a 50 year+ guitar with most nicks located on the top of the body. No cracks, breaks or major repairs.
Part of the back of the guitar had some chips and scratches repaired, and properly finished.
The back of the neck is smooth which shows almost no wear.
Original Case in excellent condition, fur is intact, no rips or tears. Latches work properly.
Some rust on the metal. One of the cleanest examples of a retro Japan made LP.
