difficult especially with the original canisters on the pots

This is a very unique guitar that was Custom
Ordered from Gibson. The body is a semi-hollow body with a carved
out mahogany body with a center block running from the neck/body
joint to the stop tailpiece, two piece maple top, 57 Classic
Pickups, Gold Hardware, Grover Tuners, Tobacco Sunburst Finish
with Dark Walnut Back and Sides, and Gibson Custom Shop Logo
on the back of the headstock with inked on serial number. Being
a semi hollow body the guitar has impressive sustain and resonance
while not just being a ball of uncontrollable feedback when
amplified due to the lack of F-holes. The guitar is in excellent
plus condition displaying only minor playwear, some hardware
oxidation, and some fine finish checking lines on the top. This
is in a time when Gibson was starting to experiment with semi-hollow
Les Pauls that would include the Les Paul Florentine model.
This is a rare Custom Ordered one off guitar as confirmed by
Gibson, that if commissioned today I can only cringe at what
Gibson would now charge to make a comparative guitar. Guitar
