Any Gibson Grabber owners out there?

I have a Gibson Ripper. It's been refinished before I received it and has quite a few scratches and marks. I've been sanding the new finish which has not been done well and am getting ready to refinish black.

 

I believe it's either a 74 or 76. Will try to get the type of wood tomorrow or remove the new paint and see the seerial under it.

 

It is available for sale and I'm accepting offers at this point. Will try to post photos soon as well.

Astounding condition for a 1979 Grabber. That either spent a lot of time in storage or someone did a fine resto. [woot]
