Description

An outstanding Gibson archtop from the late '70s. The Johnny Smith model was introduced in 1961 featuring a single floating mini-humbucker pickup with a single knob mounted on the pickguard and an x-braced top. This particular example was entirely refinished, refretted, and has a replaced pickguard and pot and a hardly noticeable top patch at the cutaway. Though the label is missing from the inside of the body, the serial number was stamped into the back of the headstock by Gibson around 2008, dating the instrument to 1976.

*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.
