The case was an additional $75. The case I'm not going to use since my strap is so big, lol. I do have another very old guitar that could use a case upgrade, and it does fit so.....
I was going to post the link but it's no longer in the companies product list. Maybe they ran out of P90 pickups or something, since it is made to order....

Didn’t realize it was a Chinese copy! Does it look and play like a real one?

It plays better than my real Gibson LP studio! Lighter too.... I have to be careful when bending to avoid going over the note I'm stretching for......

I can't remember since I didn't know him ;-) Besides, I'm probably older than he is!!!
but I can guess; if it seems too good to be true it probably is? In this case that would be was, since the seller has removed this item from their product list (no idea why)

I think you may have imagined this guitar into existence. That’s why it’s so good!

They are the old style TonePros locking Kluson tuners. If you take the screw cap off they look fairly close to regular klusons but with a hollow post. They are "Kluson Deluxe" branded vs the originals that had Gibson branding.

I wish I could find split shaft tuners like the old Fenders for a 3x3 Gibson setup. They were crazy to ever go away from those split shaft tuners on the Fenders.

Check out the Travis Bean Ghost SG. Awesome. Not mine, but I wish it was.
It's on reverb here:

Yep, aluminum. While this one is not really a Travis Bean guitar, it was made by Kevin at Electric Guitar Company who does the reissues for Travis Bean Designs.

Any other type of tuner is stupid because if you take the strings off to service the guitar, you have to put new strings on. Split shaft tuners allow you to keep using the strings.

Just grabbed this '73 a couple weeks ago and really loving it so far.
All stock except strap buttons.
No neck dive.
Original Tarback pickups which may be getting changed soon, they're kinda weird.
Ebony board with real MOP inlays.
Has that delightfully offensive "smell" of something old.
But the case is living in the garage!
