Gibson Howard Roberts Fusion 1980, Sunburst

This 1980 Gibson Howard Roberts Fusion comes in a rich Sunburst and is in great condition for its age, carrying only light cosmetic wear that speaks more to time than hard use. A quality refret brings the playability right into the sweet zone—smooth, clean, and ready for just about anything. Tonally, it’s wonderfully versatile, shifting from warm jazz voicings to brighter fusion tones with ease, all while keeping that airy, semi-hollow character intact. The design reflects the spirit of Howard Roberts himself, a player whose career stretched from session work to jazz guitar innovation, always leaning toward instruments that put comfort and performance first. With its classic yet subtly distinctive look, this model follows that legacy closely, offering a guitar that feels both refined and uniquely expressive.  Comes with the OHSC.
