Bought it new in 1976,,235$  w/hardshell case out the door  in Ann Arbor  Mich.  Ive had it ever since,,its seen many miles of club/concert use,,as  well as   recording. It had Gibson PAF  HBKRS  installed  after about 3 yrs of ownership. It still sounds  and  plays  like a dream!  Wouldnt trade it for anything,,,,well,,,almost  anything,,,Id trade it for Jennifer  Aniston!    LOL  But  thats the  only trade Id do with it1lol    Cheers!
