Here we have a rarely offered Heritage Super Kenny Burrell from 2003 in its original blonde finish. To my knowledge not too many have been produced at all in the legendary Kalamazoo plant and this one is in great and all original condition. The original frets have not been played too much and are still in great shape. More pictures available if desired. Comes with its original case.
Personal pickup preferred southwest of Germany but shipment can be arranged at the buyers risk. Send me your destination and I will find out the best shipping option
For those of you who are not so familiar with this model here is a little overview that I found on the internet about the Heritage Super Kenny Burrell:

Handbuilt in Kalamazoo in the old Gibson plant, the Heritage Super KB is a tribute to one of the most influential guitarists of the 20th century. In a career spanning some seven decades, jazz legend Kenny Burrell has recorded with superstars from Dizzy Gillespie and Billie Holiday to John Coltrane and Oscar Peterson. Designed to the artists' own specifications, the Super KB echoes Burrell's famed '60s Super 400CES, with its generous 18" body, twin built-in Seymour Duncan Seth Lover humbuckers, and signature sharp Florentine cutaway.
Sharing the same materials and specifications as its Gibson cousin, the Super KB has the solid, hand graduated Sitka spruce top, inlaid ebony fingerboard, parallel bracing, and was built in Gibson's renowned former Kalamazoo workshop. And, in an upgrade to the Gibson original, the Heritage has solid carved flame maple back and sides, in contrast to the laminated backs used on the Florentine S-400s of the '60s.
An elegant traditional jazz box, this big guitar has the warm, buttery voice characteristic of its generous super jumbo body. The extended Florentine cutaway allows unimpeded access to the highest frets, and the premium grade electronics are detailed and highly articulate. This spectacular instrument is crafted with an intensely figured tiger maple body and matching three piece neck, with an elegant D profile, and smooth, low action, with a fresh high-precision setup.
