This guitar was purchased in very early 1969, played very little and then stored for over 50 years!
The only thing wrong is the tuners were swapped out when with Grover's because they were popular at the time.
I have a set of 1969 Gibson Deluxe Double Line Double Ring Tuners on the way!
Here are some of the things I've verified to prove it's provenance;
Fat Heel Joint with little to no ledge
Pot Codes are CTS 1968 Week 52
Swimming Pool Route with Neck Tenon showing dates to Very Early 1969 and possibly 1968
No Dot Over the i in Gibson
Patent Number Pickups
Nylon Saddles on the Bridge
And Finally the Serial Number verifies as Early 1969.
I think this is a January or February 1969 guitar...
On to the pics!
