Extremely low mintage - the original Zodiac - only 10 of these amazing guitars were produced by Gibson. Of the 10 total, one of these guitars suffered a broken neck. That means only a possible 9 are are remaining. This one is all original and in mint condition. Additionally, there were only 3 available in the original Gibson carton that were un-played when I purchased this one. I personally had the opportunity to inspect all 3. This sample here was the pick of the litter. A true collector's piece and a beautiful player.
This specimen has only 20 minutes of play time on it and has been stored in the original case since, in a smoke free home, and fully conditioned environment.
Everything is original plus including the original Gibson shipping carton. You will see some micro dust on the guitar in the photos. The finish is in mint condition - I should have used a dust cloth just prior to the pics. There appears to be a very small bit of color overspray on the outside banding which is in the finish. I have not touched this. The underside of the case has a small tear about 1/4" on the edge. See photo. Material is still there and can likely be glued. The guitar, when shipped, will be double boxed.
The guitar even looks better than the photos - breathtaking work from skilled Gibson custom craftsmen.
Feel free to message me with any questions. I will respond to reasonable Offers. Thank you for looking.
