Named for the legendary jazz guitarist whom Gibson collaborated with for its creation, the Howard Roberts Fusion blends design aspects of the Les Paul and ES-335 to allow for an instrument that feels familiar, yet allows for new ergonomic and tonal options. Semi-hollow construction with a center black and cutaway connotes a guitar with added warmth and playability up and down the neck. Unique fine tuning nuts for each individual string also helps with adjustment beyond what standard Gibsons are capable of. This specific instrument has been well taken care of and even includes a handful of original paperwork that tells the story of the guitar.
This particular example was owned by Marshall Tucker Band's Toy Caldwell featuring well-documented purchase receipts and provenance from Gruhn Guitars.
Includes OHSC.
