Description

Here we have an instrument as unique as they come - A Gibson Howard Roberts archtop that has been re-worked by Bob Benedetto. The renowned archtop builder re-necked this guitar, added a floating pickup and tone/volume controls, as well as replaced the bridge and tailpiece. It also comes with the paperwork from Benedetto documenting the work and has been refinished. It plays and sounds excellent!
