Description

Crisply falling in the Banner era, this Gibson is impressive to say the least. It has taken on some necessary repairs to keep it in operation, but it still sings as it should. Playability wise, the guitar is spectacular with the standard chunky neck you get with 40's Gibson acoustics. Sonically the low end is full and supports the mid range sloped shoulder Gibsons are so recognized for. Repairs on this instrument include a refret, bridge reglue, two side cracks glued open, and a new bridge plate. The top and back were oversprayed and a new bone nut and saddle were added.

Comes with a non-original hard shell case
