Condition:

This Gibson Blue Ridge Custom does show the following in its condition:

• Top Cracks: A crack runs from the soundhole to just under the pickguard, with a smaller hairline crack on the treble side near the fretboard. Both are repairable with professional attention.
• Neck and Action: High action at the 12th fret is due to a low saddle and minimal neck relief. A neck reset is recommended to restore playability.
• Bridge: The rosewood bridge is lifting slightly on the wings and will need to be re-glued or replaced for optimal stability.
• Finish Wear: Visible finish cracking around the neck joint suggests possible separation. Additional finish cracks are present around the binding at the treble side shoulder and bout, adding to its vintage character.
