This was just a dumb luck find, wasn't planning on buying anything right now but it was too good a deal to pass up. It was marked in GC as a #2351 which is the very common Ibby bolt-neck copy, this a much different and IMO a much better guitar. The 2651 model is kind of rare so this was a very cool find. Found it in the used section the day after they took it in. I had to wait a few weeks but totally worth it.
It sounds really, really good. The Super 70's are just righteous pickups. It plays very well too, getting used to the skinnier neck is a little odd but it's not too bad. It's a bit of a beast weight wise with '60 thin taper style neck and a really beautiful board. It is super clean, very light wear, a few dings and scratches that are pretty much superficial. It has a pancake body with a proper maple cap, the back is 2 piece center seam. I can't quite tell yet on the pancake section, it's done very well though. It's a completely solid guitar not like most of the bolt-neck's of the era which tend to be sort of chambered. The top carve isn't quite dead on but neither were a lot of Gibson's for a number of years. It actually really comes off as very legit 70's LP. It looks to be all original except for 1 tone pot which could just be a mismatch from the factory for all I know. The 3-way switch is a little wonky hoping I can clean it up to keep it in the guitar. Original case too but most of the latches are gone, have to work on that.
At first it made me think of Ace's tobacco burst LP from the 70's and still does but it has a very Joe Perry kind of vibe to it now that I have it at home.
