In the early seventies Gibson had received critisism for the quality of its instruments, especially with regard post-production checks.

Gibson is constantly aware of its reputation as the world's finest fretted instrument manufacturer. And we're constantly striving to keep our reputation ... and to improve it. That's why we put a guitar through over 50 checks and tests before we put the Gibson name on it. Then Gibson inspects the work approved by line inspectors. If it can't live up to these standards, it can't live up to the Gibson name.

Its faded finish gives it the look of an axe that started its rockin' days in the '60s.
