Equipped with its original set of Gibson "Patent No" humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions, controlled by 2 volume pots, 2 tone pots and a 3-way toggle switch comprised of its original CTS pots dating to the 22nd week of 1976. The 24.75" scale length neck has mother of pearl block inlays and black side markers with 22 medium jumbo frets on a 12" radius with a slim taper profile.
