Gibson Custom Shop Tak Matsumoto DC Standard Flame Top Aqua Blue 2nd Edition

This 2013 2nd Edition Aqua Blue guitar is now available!
The 1st Edition featured a special certificate, a blonde hard case, and a blue truss rod cover, but this one comes in the standard black hard case and the standard certificate.
It features a maple top and mahogany back body, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, and special, powerful Burstbucker 2 & 3 pickups with Alnico 5 pickups. Perhaps due to an internal crack in one of the knobs, all three were replaced.
The body has some wipe marks and scratches. The top of the body is only slightly scratched, but due to the coloring, it is not very noticeable. There are paint cracks on the right side of the body and on the binding at the end of the body due to aging. They are not very noticeable and have a natural look, so they don't look out of place. The back of the body also has only minor wipe marks and no noticeable signs of wear. There is a small paint chip on the lower right edge of the headtop. Each piece of hardware has some tarnished plating. The neck is in good condition, and the truss rod can be adjusted to tighten or loosen. There are no string marks on the frets, and about 80% of the frets remain. The current string height is adjusted to approximately 2.0mm on the 6th string side at the 12th fret and approximately 1.5mm on the 1st string side. Overall, it shows little signs of use and is in relatively good condition. There is still some noticeable blue tinge. The clear top has yellowed over time, giving it a slightly greenish appearance overall. That said, second-hand guitars tend to be used heavily, but this one shows little wear. We recommend it as a guitar to add to your collection or as a guitar for heavy use! Weight: 3.59kg Neck is in good condition Truss rod can be adjusted to tighten or loosen. Approximately 80% of the frets remain. Genuine hard case. Accessories: Certificate of Authenticity, Strap Lock (strap side), Selector Switch (back cover). Product Rank: B+: Minor scratches, but no problems for normal use. Serial Number: TAK AB 3135
