The Nick Lucas Special was Gibson's first signature guitar, built for a man who was selling records in 1929, and it is a deeper-bodied small guitar than anything else of the period. That depth is the whole instrument: a 13.5" lower bout with a body that keeps getting deeper toward the tailpiece, which is why a guitar this size puts out what it does.

Mahogany body with a thermally aged red spruce top, Light Aged. The appointments are where the money went, and they are all still here: mother of pearl Nick Lucas inlays with the engraving intact, gold sparkle binding and an L-2 style rosette with the same sparkle running through it, gold Waverly tuners with ivory oval buttons.

Rosewood board over 20 frets, C profile, 24.75" scale. Rosewood bridge with an open lock, bone saddle and nut.
