This one looks like it has seen a lot of use. I don't mind some mojo on a guitar, as long as it is from playing it a lot. I don't like the whole 'relic' thing when it is done on purpose.

I like it too. But I'm clueless on Gibson pricing. $1,195 sounds reasonable?

In my limited viewing of RDs, this seems like a decent price, but I could be totally off. And yeah, this one looks like it came by its battle scars honestly!

If you read the description, it sounds like this one has actually been cleaned up of a lot of stickers.  I'll take a beaten player any day of the week.

"We removed miles of stickers and this was as good as it got". I love that!

Over priced imho.

Agreed way over priced, great mojo though. ;)
