I would say this bass is in MINT to near MINT condition. The cleanest Blackbird I've seen. I've looked up and down and you'll swear this bass was never played. You will love this bass! I am a huge fan of the Blackbird basses and I pick them up whenever they come my way. I own more than a few that I tour with and once in a while I find one in this condition.
Playability: The sustain & the action are unbeatable. Before I bit the bullet and bought the real thing, I used to play the Epiphone Thunderbird models. After playing the Gibsons, I will never go back. They literally almost play themselves and are built like tanks! I purchased this one as a collector's piece and planned on keeping her until she gained in value (which she will). Unfortunately, with tough times, come tough decisions and I have to let her go. The pictures speak for themselves. No buckle-rash, no dings, no scuffs & no scratches.
Comes with a the original Gibson factory hardshell case with silk cover which is also in MINT condition. The case is also an indicator that this bass was never taken out of the closet. Its normal for a case to show wear - but not this one. Not a scuff or rip in sight. Includes Schaller strap locks, strap, original factory manual, truss tool & combination manual.
Rest assured that I will properly pack the bass to ensure its safe transport. Check out my feedback and bid with confidence. $19.50 UPS Ground shipping anywhere in the lower 48-states.
