Gibson Custom Shop ’65 Reissue Firebird V – Pelham Blue VOS – 2003
Hi,
I’m taking another step toward downsizing my collection and am offering this Gibson Custom Shop ’65 Reissue Firebird V in Pelham Blue VOS, from 2003.
The guitar is in excellent condition for its age and has clearly been well cared for. There is some minor finish checking on the back of the headstock, as well as a small ding on the front of the headstock near the high-E tuner. Please see the photos for details.
The original Gibson Arts & Historic hardshell case is included. The previous owner removed the tab from the combination lock, presumably because the lock was defective or the combination had been forgotten. The tab itself is included and can be reattached if desired.
