Foosa/Maverickkk/Nightsurfer: Thank you very much for your kind words about the guitar. It is a really nice piece. The only reason I am parting with it is because I am lefthanded and cant really have a good time playing a right handed guitar. I can swap the strings but dont want to do that to the guitar. I bought it when I came across it simply because you dont get original gibsons everyday - so I coudnt resist it. I have always kept it boxed and polished and in its original condition. Got strings and polish for it from the US!!
One more suggestion for early learners: Dont ever think you should first learn on a cheap guitar, you can never ruin a good guitar. In fact a cheap guitar is the last thing you should buy cause there may be a whole host of things that are not right with a cheap guitar. (Please dont take this as my effort to market my own guitar but this is an honest suggestion for everyone interested in guitars). I used to play a really cheap copy of a fender and it was crap.
Anyway, for anyone in Karachi and seriously interested you are welcome to post your comments and if really serious we can meet up anytime and you can check the guitar out and here's another pic before the polish and change of strings..
