Headstock: Diagonal ‘The Gibson’ logo
Neck/fingerboard: see notes below
Body: Maple back and sides
Hardware: Gold-plated metal parts including wrap-over tailpiece and Waverly three-on-a-strip tuners with engraved baseplate and pearl buttons, mounted so that the cog is positioned below the worm gear. Replica short bound pickguard
Notes: The ebony fingerboard is a replacement built by Cris Mirabella who also made the nut, pickguard and support bracket. The bridge base is original (the serial number is inscribed on its bottom surface) but the upper section is a replica made by Cumberland Acoustics.
