Our 1969 Gibson Barney Kessel Custom, factory order number 48293 has had a strap button fitted to neck heel, replacement knobs and a small square of wood replaced around the jack socket - most likely when new. There is a possible replacement bone nut. The pickups are out of phase, and the “i” of “Gibson” logo is missing its dot.
