As you can see this is in stunning vintage condition — it’s all original and the cosmetic condition is pretty amazing with very little checking and minimal dings, dents and worming–some tarnishing on the t-tops but otherwise it presents very well. The neck is clean–the binding is good and the pickups are as everyone knows really wonderful PAFs–the t-tops from the early Norlin years likely left over from the late 60s–whatever the case the sound is classic. The case is original and okay inside and outside given its age–there is one tolex tear shown in the scans as well as lesser wear but inside it does the job. The neck angle is just right and the action is perfect for my preferences as my luthier just did a complete set up and pre-sale inspection that includes new strings as well as a fretboard oil a clean and polish and intonation–truss rod works and has life on it and the tuners stay in tune. I got the date of the Gibson dater project which says 1970–72–my luthier believes it’s a 70 for various technical reasons and i’m thinking he’s probably right but serial numbers from Gibson are really puzzling as most people know–you can see the number on one of the scans and check it out if you prefer to do your own due diligence.

Gorgeous tone on this reliable, great looking, gig-ready vintage Gibson archtop guitar. Very well taken care of cosmetically for its age, and no playability issues. Its the perfect guitar for a working musician — wood that only sounds this good after aging 45 years, with some of the critical hardware/electronics and case upgraded to be reliable and sound better in real world gigging situations. Schaller tuning machines for precise intonation, and pickguard replaced with custom made cream colored, 3-ply vintage style guard. Also included is a beautiful, hardwood pickguard that the previous owner had made with its own mounting hardware as an alternate look if you prefer. The neck is a very playable D-shape and not too chunky. Note the caliper measurements of the neck at the nut and 12th fret. These are as accurately as I can hold the calipers, reflect measuring with the strings on, and include the fret itself. The previous owner had the guitar refretted, and my guitar tech says it looks like the fingerboard may have also been planed. The frets are in good shape and have plenty of life on them! There is a slight discoloration on the back of the neck where a chip has been professionally filled. This is cosmetic only (I don’t even notice it when I play). Also note 2 small black caps covering small holes near the pickguard — these were put in place of extra switches the previous owner had installed and later removed. This instrument is the real deal in authentic jazz guitar tone! Plug in to any amp with clean headroom, and you instantly get that warm, Wes Montgomery, George Benson, Joe Pass sound. Comes with contemporary, non-Gibson, snug-fitting hardshell case. INFO STAMPED ON HEADSTOCK. Serial Number Lookup (on GuitarDaterProject. Com). Your guitar was made at the.
