A scarce piece of Gibson dealer history, this original November 6, 1980 two-page Gibson letter announces a dealer's authorization to carry the Gibson Acoustic line for the 1980–1981 sales year. Signed by James G. Whitehill, Vice President of Sales, the letter details the benefits and responsibilities of becoming an authorized acoustic dealer, including promotional programs, literature, displays, pricing discounts, sales targets, warranty service, and product support. Offering a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at Gibson's dealer network during the Norlin era, this factory correspondence is an excellent collectible for Gibson enthusiasts, vintage music store memorabilia collectors, and historians of the musical instrument industry.
