Rare one owner instrument. Kept in original case. Seldom played. All original. One chipped knob. Small crack repaired by luthier aprox. 30 years ago. Exceptional luster and color for age. Walnut stain finish was first shown in the 1969 Gibson catalog; however, we have encountered examples made prior to the catalog listing. This guitar appears to be in exceptionally fine condition. It conforms to the typical specifications of the model for the period in which it was made, with 16-inch wide double-cutaway thin semi-hollow body constructed of laminated maple, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard with white binding and pearloid block inlays, Gibson and crown-shaped peghead inlays, Kluson Deluxe tuners, white binding on the top and back edges of the body, two humbucking pickups, tune-o-matic bridge, trapeze tailpiece, chrome-plated metal hardware, black plastic “witch hat” tone and volume knobs, and original hard case with black covering and yellow plush lining case.current market value $3850
