The kind of guitar that can stop time and start a whole new chapter in your musical life! Wow. This one's for the players. Conversation with the good folks at Gibson places year of production in the '43-'44 range. And it's been played all along the way! There's wear here, there, and everywhere. But our luthier saw to every loose end and now all those old stories and every single note on this guitar are ringing out loud and clear. After all, the best sounding vintage instruments sound their best because they were PLAYED! This guitar is just spilling over with "old Gibson" tone--you won't want to miss a drop!
Condition - Used, Good (Our luthier performed a full roster of repairs on this old beauty: crack repairs, bridge reglue, finish work, setup).
Today's Gibson electric guitars represent the history as well as the future of the electric guitar. The models whose designs have become classics-the ES-175, ES-335, Flying V, Explorer, Firebird, SGs and Les Pauls-are a testament to Gibson's wide appeal, spanning more than four decades of music styles. Gibson's close relationship with musicians is manifest in endorsement models from King, Atkins and jazz greats Howard Roberts and Herb Ellis, plus new Les Pauls made to the personal specifications of rock stars Jimmy Page and Joe Perry. In 1994, Gibson's Centennial year, the new Nighthawk model won an industry award for design, setting the stage for a second hundred years of Gibson quality and innovation.
