Description
Cosmetic Condition: We recently acquired this gorgeous guitar as part of a small collection. Every piece in the collection was well preserved & kept in excellent condition. This beautiful little tenor shows some signs of light wear, but is in great shape overall considering it's over 50 years old. There are various minor nicks, dents & dings; light surface scratches & mild weather checking. The sunburst finish is very strong & vibrant and the guitar is free of any cracks, breaks or repairs. The guitar is 100% original & has been professionally set up by us so it plays & sounds fantastic.
Neck: Mahogany neck with cream binding & black side-dots. Beautiful Brazilian rosewood fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays. Frets show some wear, but have plenty of life in them. Kluson Deluxe tuners in perfect working condition. 1 3/16" nut width; 23" scale length. Neck is straight & plays great up & down the fingerboard.
Body: Double-bound, archtop with dual F-holes. Spruce top in sunburst finish with maple back & sides. Nickel trapeze tailpiece with floating rosewood bridge. 5-ply black pickguard is in great shape with only minor warping. Guitar weighs about 4 1/2 lbs & is very resonant. A strap button was tastefully added to the bass-side of the body.
Case: Vintage Gibson faux alligator chipboard case included.
