Another update...only the neck pickup seems to be working, wouldn’t be surprised if the wiring is bad in this old thing.
That can be fixed. Almost anything can. Your story is one most of us dream of. I bought a house and there is a 60's Gibson in it. Life must be rough.

My first Rush show was Moving Pictures the last was the last tour and 5 or 6 others in between. Great band, great album, sad ending.

Only played on ES-175 at a place called Alpha Music. There nice but at 5k back when Gibson was making them, they can keep em.
Steve is one of the reasons I play. Saw him 3 times. One time with GTR and twice with Asia. Never got to see him with Yes (who are one of my favorite bands). I was too young to see them when they were good, now the stuff they do, to me is garbage.

I’ll give you 500 for it as is. Lol. No seriously start by dusting it off and getting the serial off the back of the headstock. Plug it in see whats working and what isn’t. Any cracks, splits or repairs besides the one volume knob? You could be looking at some serious cash.
Yep I'll go $501.

I would take it to a pro for it that bothers you. Super Glue your guitar. Well its yours, I wouldn't.

If its a real '67 you gotta find out what was in them back then. If it was PAF's they ain't gonna be cheap.

335's are one of the best electrics Gibson makes. I would rather have one than a LP.

Yes, like a Dread but a half inch thinner. Just enough to not feel enormous on me. But there will be a D-35 in my future. And an OM-35.
rct
My D-35 was all that an a bag of chips, but a D-41 is all that and 2 bags of chips. D-35's are not just a D-28 with a 3 piece back. I know I owned both. I would own both again in a heartbeat.

Yeah, but your D-41 is 5 better than my M-36.
rct
Well Yes and No. I love my small body 000 -28 and any D's I've owned. There just different beasts. I've played a few M-36's and would own one in a heartbeat. It's like a 000 small bodied D-35's but one better. A three piece back is something special. No one makes an production acoustic like Martin. Yes I know 5 minuets after I get it home it needs a neck reset and the binding comes unglued.

Not much. Plonked at my M-36 and Esquire. Made us good cappuccinos. Made dinner.

M-36 is a pimpin machine. Small body Martins are the business. I beat the p!ss out of my 000-28. Miss my D-35 and 28 an 18, but then I look at and play my D-41 and then not so much.

Loved both LP's I've owned with 60's necks.
Bad @ss axe.
-
If you are on LSD or shrooms your could be, but the jury is out. I see 5 guitars.

Bought 180 gram vinyl copies of Van Morrison Astral Weeks and Moondance. Played my D-41. Rowed on my machine. Listening to 180 gram Pink Floyd- The Wall. Wish I was high but I'm not. Got a vodka on the rocks close at hand. Time for side 3. Got a text from my cousin my aunt had a heart attack today and is in the hospital. So there's that.

I remove all stickers from my guitar.
Stickers are for cases. My frets are dry is the quote of the day.
Congrats on your new axe.

what ever man.
tell ya what I'll follow up on your posts, and reply that you're full of crap too that will be fun right?
Ok if you need to but what in my last post did I lie about. I didn't say you were full of crap but every guitar store uses hangers and if they damaged instruments I doubt they would use them. Look here is a picture at Gruhn's any guitar/instruments on hangers?

Ok, got it.
While it sounds serious, is usually fixable. The neck gets placed in a heated clamp sometimes for a day or so, not sure of the duration as it depends on how badly it's askew. But that will usually correct things. I know a few ppl this has happened to, and their guitars were in fact fixed and playable again. What causes this is another question.
Often times it's a humidity problem. so based on climate and where the guitar spends most of its time has a lot to do with it. In both cases with my friends guitars' they had their guitars on wall hangers, not cased, and just left them there without much regard for concerns for how dry or humid the environment was. Your mileage may vary, but this is what appears to have caused these incidents. they've since abandoned the wall hangers and keep their guitars cased. One was a Custom Shop ES-339, the other was an ES-175 Both rather costly guitars.
Customer Support should be able to do the right thing here, (Fix or replace)
How many guitar stores use wall hangers? Most if not all of them. How many humidify the room the electrics are in? Non of them. Well a few might but if they do it's rare. I've been to Carters Vintage and Gruhn's and seen 10k guitars on wall hangers.

The Spirit Of Radio was the first Rush song I ever heard at the tender age of 13. One of my favorite Rush albums is getting the 40th Anniversary treatment, but as Alex says below no 5.1. Ive got 2112, Kings and Spheres 40th. Gonna get this one too. The Rush Is a Band fan site believes that the reason there is no 5.1 surround sound mix on Blu-ray, as there was when 1978's Hemispheres got a similar treatment a few years ago, is because the original masters were lost when Trident Studios, where Permanent Waves was mixed, went out of business. "I just don't think we have the masters for that record," guitarist Alex Lifeson told Metal Express Radio said. "That is typical of those days. Your recordings would stay at the studio where you last worked. You'd get home and the master tapes would go to be mastered, and then the record was released and they would keep your masters as it was safer that way. When we did Permanent Waves, Trident kept the masters, but they went bankrupt and everything disappeared, so we don't have the multi-track masters for that one."

I saw Mac's other band Portastatic a few times at the Cat's Cradle open for Guided By Voices and Robert Pollard. I've got some Superchunk on cd. No Pocky For Kitty is killer.
