I have owned 20 odd years, but circumstances dictate I move all my guitars on. Such is Life....\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe instrument is in stunning condition for it's age and even includes the orig cardboard case it would have shipped with.\u003cbr\u003eAs you can see, a chunk of finish is missing on the (lefty) bass side of the neck. Was like that when I got it, no worse now. Has dots on the left handed side of the neck only, as opposed to both sides like most LH Gibsons of the 60s \u0026amp; 70s I have owned or seen. There were clearly dots on the other side at some time, whether they were filled in black at the factory or after, I can't say.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has the factory-fitted Right Handed Lightning Bolt ,Wound G spec,compensated bridge fitted. If your a lefty with any experience in Vintage Gibsons, this will come as no surprise . You will also know this makes correct intonation virtually impossible. Easy fixed with any number of replacement bridges, but ships with the original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal case has band \u0026amp; owners name. but,in a font I can't make out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pickguard has never been removed \u0026amp; I'm not really inclined to do it just for the sake of it. Happily remove it after you pay for it \u0026amp; of course, fully refund you if anything is not as it should be in regards to routes, damage etc. Replacement pots are a fact of life, just like tyres would be on a 60 year old car IMO.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52376256315675,"sku":null,"price":7250.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/9037\/2379\/files\/P1290382.jpg?v=1781853439","url":"https:\/\/globalvintage.com.au\/products\/gibson-melody-maker-d-with-vibrola-left-handed-1965-1966-cherry-w-case","provider":"Global Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
