About This Listing

1965 Gibson Johnny Smith D guitar....with added Guitorgan/synth electronics to the body, neck, and pickguard. The tuners, pickups, bridge, tailpiece, and truss rod cover are gone. I can't identify the bridge pickup. No cracks or repairs other than the obvious. The Lifton case is a little larger than the guitar and I believe is correct for a 50's Epiphone Zephyr or something similar. This guitar played just a month ago before the tuners, tailpiece, etc were removed. It would take less than $100 in used non-Gibson parts to be a playing guitar again. I have no reason to believe that the synth features don't also work. I assume a Guitorgan foot controller with cable are needed though.
***** I was just asked how many places the guitar has been cut for the added electronics: The eq and control panel on the top, the two extra jacks on the side of the body, the big rectangle on the back, the center of the fingerboard, and a tiny jack next to the nut. Plus the route for the bridge pickup. These originally had floating pickups. Everything you see on the pickguard is wired through the f-hole below it.
