Guitar Description

This superb instrument has been in the loving care of a professional musician and superb blues rock player for the last decade or more. A superb piece of Gibson history from the magical era that is the 1960s. The first thing you always notice about these is the smell. You simply can't recreate that 60s aroma! This has been a working example and has been used on pro sessions, recordings and videos. It is one of those guitars that plays and sounds superb so has been making real music most of its life. Being a working instrument it's had some mods over the years to keep it in top playing order. The machine heads are new, it's had a refret at some stage (expertly done) and the bridge has been replaced with a classic stop tailpiece in place of the trapeze. The original is in the case though. A lovely example that is a pleasure to play and enjoy.

Please note: We are selling this on behalf of the current owner and as such we can not offer shipping. It can be viewed, and tested / collected from our showroom in Frome, Somerset. By appointment only.
