Gibson Invader 1984 + OHSC - Natural 14565

Description (More pics below)
What it is
Up for sale is a 1984 Gibson Invader in natural finish. It comes with the original chainsaw case. The weight is 9lbs, 2oz.

Condition
In good shape for its age. Got some bumps and dings here and there (see pics) but overall still looks nice. No structural cracks, breaks, or repairs. Original pickups intact and sound great. Tuners changed to Grover kidney bean. May not be original pots. Some checking on headstock and body which may be a good thing depending on your taste. Frets have some flattening and mild grooves on lower frets, but it still plays well. Would only need a re-fret if your want new tall frets. There is a little crack in the plastic on the rhythm pickup "surround" (pickup frame) that does not affect anything.

Sound and playability
These are vintage Gibson workhorse guitars when they were experimenting with bolt on necks. Beautiful mahogany body and maple neck with what looks like an ebony fretboard but not sure. Pickups are legendary zebra humbuckers for a tight gritty sound. Very pretty natural finish. No issues or problems. Cherry on top is my detailed setup and bulletproof packing (read reviews to see the quality of my setups). Please ask any questions before buying.

Guitar Setup
Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. Thanks!

Packing
I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I have been doing this 15 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. I wrote a detailed story with photos on how I pack a guitar, which you can find on my StillKickinMusic site blog. If you Google "Still Kickin - How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.

About Me
My store is a one-person small business that has been selling used guitars and basses for 15 years now. I do a basic setup and cleaning on every instrument I sell, so depending on workload it may be 1-2 business days before your guitar ships. When it arrives you can depend on it being, clean, set up, and securely packed. Check my feedback for confirmation. Thanks!
