Smile Gibson 2018 Limited J-15 Walnut Burst ***TRADED***

***THIS GUITAR HAS BEEN TRADED***
I bought this barely used 2018 Gibson guitar recently, but I am just used to my old Martin. The J-15 comes with the original case and paperwork, unopened Gibson polishing cloth, truss rod tool, and a dark brown Gibson thin leather strap. I added an inlaid ebony truss rod cover and include the original. This guitar came with literally the most gorgeous walnut wood sets I’ve ever seen. In my opinion, it’s just an exceptionally beautiful example of the model. The original brown Gibson case, and the factory fresh Gibson scent, are included.

Nitpicks? There’s a small ding on the top, near the waist, slightly indented but not through the finish. There are 2 spots on the headstock where the nitro finish reacted with a guitar hanger and dulled the finish, not very noticeable. Sadly, someone tried to replace the mini Grover tuning machines, and the back of the hard maple headstock does show the small screw holes and a few broken off screws. The original tuners are on and they work well. It doesn’t show much, unless carefully inspecting the back of the headstock.

Everything about this guitar is in fine working order. I’ve never even used the factory Baggs pickup. The tone is really starting to open up and develop its growling lows.

Please feel free to ask questions, I can email more photos.

Here’s Gibson’s description:

“The 2018 Gibson J-15 is hand-built in Bozeman, Montana with the same luthier techniques that make these guitars the most sought-after instruments in the world. This impressive guitar features a dovetail neck-to-body joint secured with hide glue, scalloped bracing, and a hand sprayed nitrocellulose lacquer finish. This Limited Edition is available in a beautiful Walnut Burst.”

What makes this model special for me is the really comfortable neck and its well balanced tone for rhythm. I haven't found a J-45 with enough volume to suit me, and for my hands the neck on the J-35 was a tad too chunky... though I admire both guitars greatly. When I found this, with the burst finish, I couldn't resist it.

Don't you hate how selling a guitar makes you appreciate it all over again? ;-)

Can you give a little more detail on the original tuner screws? Are they all broken off? Are the current tuners using the original screw holes or what? A couple of them look a little cockeyed. Thanks.
