Drool............................... My brother in law has one just like that, it sits in his closet I don't think it has been out of it's case for 5 years, I think he should give it to me so it can have a useful life  ;D

I think he should too Scott. I'll gladly sign the petition if you'd like.

I bet you could replace that with a pee and he wouldn't even notice, those basses are for r'n' and not hiding in closets!

It looks like this one has still the ears from the bridge and pickup covers in place. Or else it's a dark discoloration from where they were. Strange.

Pretty sure those are the plastic spacers that went under the covers.

OK, that makes sense. I never knew there were spacers.

You didn't really think that, once mismatched, Gibson would reconstruct those covers so they could do without the spacers, did you?  :mrgreen:
