Here’s an extremely well preserved piece of American musical history. Tell me, who doesn’t just love a sunburst vintage Gibson? Back in the day, “The Big G” really knew what to do with a couple pieces of mahogany and spruce, and this guy is all about that beautiful warm and fat Kalamazoo vibe. If you don’t have one of these hanging on your wall, here’s your chance to bring a little 1963 home for the holidays. Enjoy!

We all like this one and what's not to like. The condition is excellent, really clean and it plays like a new guitar. It's all original including that vintage Gibson sound. It could be improved by having a fixed saddle put in, a common modernization, but this way it's all original.
This guitar takes me back to when I first started playing guitar. I would have loved to have had one of these instead of my Silvertone, but I had to take what I could get. This one is in great condition and has that unmistakable Gibson neck profile. Very comfortable.
