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!

*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.
