AJs are great guitars. There nice dressed up too.

These old Round holes got a unique tone. There cool guitars.

I did it lots through a dealer in Montana back in the 90s. 1 Brazilian SJ200 , 1 Brazilian J2000. 3 Brazilian AJs , 1 Birdseye AJ ice tea burst 1 1994 Sj200 in Old east indian that has the appearance of Brazilian , with the superjumbo 200 scribed on the heal cap , all signed underneath the tops from those that had a hand in building each guitar. these had to be ordered through a dealer. I had my choice of using my Brazillian or Gibsons stash . I used mine as it was already bought , but.. It was the purchase of each guitar in production. Then I used a form to fill out my request on what I wanted as features. Thats when the $$$$ goes up. Now back then a custom guitar was actually built in the custom shop. Under Rens Guidance . its probably the same now. In todays builds but your wood selections are limited unless you can discuss with the Gibson Dealer about using wood from your personal stash and permits that are required to keep everyone from getting in trouble. you can add features block inlays, script or block pearl logos, flowerpot or torch inlays. Binding selections But it comes now with a Hefty price. not sure if thats the info your looking for

Ive read you can do that. Buy a Guitar , they will add your fixings at a extra cost. maybe Im wrong.

Its annoying.

I do like the peg head shape.. Pretty cool..

If Im not mistakin those pearoid guards were on a limited run of Acoustics. Ive seen those before. Im just trying to remember the models they were applied to.

2000 is allI would pay for a Nice one.

I believe the zero stands for 1960 historic reissue

How does it play and sound?

That headstock style is of a Kent model guitar. The body reminds of the japan made silvertones , Be amazed at how many makers used the Gibson headstock shape.

There are 200 more out there without repairs. Sometimes its worth spending a little more to be completely happy with a Nice guitar. To me anything restored or one with major repairs is not going to be the happy moment guitar.

I owned a Banner 45 like that. It was a mess. But through all of that it sounded excellent.

Too much. Its been damaged then repaired. Theres a burst on ebay for 15 or there abouts with no damage and that will retain its value

Is that a rub mark on the L3? Thats a deal breaker for me. 😁. I like it

Date could be 70-71 as well . Not volute but getting the new double x . who knows.

Not Norlin era at all

I own a burst 67 SJ with the same guard. Not a second

Nice. Was the Flatiron based off of Rens Designs? A couple of the features are quite simuliar to the Ferguson, and Gibson used those starting in the 90s

Before you mess it up. Get that to a luthier to set up properly. Overtighten ,and it could lead to splitting the neck. Ive seen it before. if the neck is bowed to much and youve released the tension of the truss rod. It may need a heat press. To straighten.

Ya. You dont have to tweek those very much.

Return it.

Ive owned quite a few 90s Tal Farlows. The one you show is one of those. Nothing wrong with it. Keep in mind there a larger eg of a Es175. Laminated wood.

Yup. I dont think it will go away any time soon. The thin guards were just fine before. Flubber was s flop.

Cold wood or cold walls would do it for sure.
