    I'd probably give it a go stan, if it didn't cost me 3 grand.
    I'm just leaving it alone in pristine condition for now in it's case.
    Not sure if that's a good or bad thing for nitrocellulose paint.

    As long as the humidity and temperature don't get their way then it should be fine.

    play it dude, they are not to look at! Should have got a leftie!
    Dont think you should have any issues with the case and NC finish. If you do it should be a Gibbo warrantee issue. I would take it out now and again though. Some stands do seem to react to finishes though, it depends on the type of soft cover - google it and have a read

    Ahh stan, didn't you know there's a conspiracy against lefties in the guitar world.
    Actually, "Gibson Limited Edition First Run" only had 4000 made and none were left handed.

    But that's ok I have a piece of history. Maybe one day it'll be worth a mega ton.
    I imagine there's very few left in mint condition.

    I will however take it out of the case and from time to time and charge the battery.

    Hi, Devon, welcome! Great kits, you'll have fun building them.
    The robot looks cool, and Gibs has been going downhill since they left Kalamazoo!!!

    I find it hard to tell these days when it seems like literally everyone is out to scam you. Telstra, Foxtel, Ebay, Aus Post, Foxtel spring to mind instantly.
    What's worse, someone charging 3k for a brand name instrument or actually handing over 3k for said instrument?

    If you got it solely for investment, I hope it appreciates like you hope.

    I am well aware of the leftie conspiracy mate, haha
