Got this a couple months ago and then developed a tendon injury in my thumb. Legitimately can't play at the moment and, moving forward, I'm probably going to have to play on Ibanez wizard necks or something equally thin. Since this is a 50's, there's literally no shot of me being able to use it. How's that for honesty? tone wise? love this thing, it's killer. It's hardly been used. Not a scratch on it. Message me for more details. No, I don't have a scale, so I can't weigh it. Comes with the brown Gibson case.
