This guitar is a Gibson players's Gibson with a deep resonant tone and excellent intonation. A superior instrument for flat pickers and finger pickers alike.


Finish crazing as expected for a 66-year-old veteran; repaired top crack from base of bridge straight down to the binding; the lower bout with plenty of dings and abrasions from actual use; overall very good estate condition.

$2,000 - 4,000
