Description

The Gibson Howard Roberts signature model pays tribute to the legendary jazz guitarist and his vision for a truly distinctive instrument. This example is in exceptional condition, featuring a stunning sunburst finish that highlights the thoughtful design choices made by Howard Roberts and Gibson. The unique pickup and intuitive controls deliver a tone entirely its own, while the rosewood fretboard and maple neck provide a solid, reliable platform for effortless chord work and fluid lead lines. The only modification is a replaced pickguard, and the guitar is otherwise in wonderful condition, ready for its next collector or player. Comes with its original hardshell case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
