The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

The guitar is in “like new” condition with no visible wear or signs of use. The instrument was constructed to replicate John Lennon’s 1950s Gibson Les Paul Junior. While in Lennon’s possession he had multiple alternations made to the guitar to suit his performance needs. This Gibson instrument is a recreation to those changes. The instrument along with finish and fittings have been artificially distressed to replicate use and age. Not examined internally.
