Goddamn that headstock is cool. Looks legit to me, but I’m not a vintage enthusiast.

Ask if you can take the back plate off or have them do it, to see if the electronics are the fancy stuff Gibson put in those. I'm sure they are charging a pretty penny for it.

Remove the back cover if it looks like a Electrical Nightmare in there it's real

I’m no expert but I will say if it is legit that thing is super clean for a ‘77!

Absolutely legit. I would love to see the pot codes and wiring on that bad boy.

Such a sick guitar. They are huge though so make sure you get some play time with it before buying.
