Hi there
New to the site, have been mucking around with guitars most of my life, have finaly got myself a Gibson, just purchased a 1992 ES Lucille in mint condition, was part of a collection and has purportedly never been played.
Looking for any advise interms of anything i should be checking/testing due to never have being played.
Appreciate any help.
Cheers

Don't change a thing. The pots should be just fine. There are plenty of 50-year old ES guitars where the harness has never been touched. I have a '68 ES 335-12 that sounds as good as the day it was made, with no electronics issues at all.

Would you replace a light bulb in a lamp that hadn't been used in 20 years? Not without trying it first, I bet.

If it plays an sounds good, don't touch it. Congrats!

Congratulations, on a GREAT guitar! (I own the "black" version.)
Just Play it...You'll love it!! They really are gorgeous guitars!

Since your's is a "red head," you could name it "Lucille Ball!"

I thought all the Lucilles were black like B.B. Kings??
