hi guys

my first gibson! Traded it in for the old harmony (which had some issues) for a zero issue L 48
Fairly original except for (i suppose) the tailpiece, installed pick up and newer klusons. Came also in what i suppose is the original case
sounds beautifull and neck is supersweet
has aged very nicely with only minor wear and tear

also would it be worth the money to look for some period correct klusons and tailpiece? ALthough
Tailpiece looks to be on it forever since it has aged also considerably....

cheers!!

That's quite a trade! I didn't know a harmony could come close to the value of one of these guys! Good deal, I bet it sounds immense. Play some Neutral Milk Hotel on that thing, like.

So beautiful, an old Gibson like one of these are more or less my dream guitar.

Please play the hell out of it :wink:

By "traded" do you mean you've paid for the Gibson and threw in the Harmony as a bonus ??
