About This Listing

Beautiful and well loved Gibson C-1 classical made in USA .
the guitar has a hairline crack down the front of the top of the guitar from the bridge to the binding that was professionally repaired by a luthier and does not effect the sound or performance. Has normal nicks and chipping in the finish, the usual wear you will find on a guitar this age.
I also had same luthier out in an LR baggs pickup so it can be played through an amplifier. the guitar sounds great , action is perfectly low with no buzz all the way up the fretboard. These are super rare and hard to come by.

I currently have it setup lefty but didn’t make any modifications to the bridge or nut to do so. So it could easily be restrung right handed if that is your preference . The guitar will ship with a padded gig bag.

Thank you for looking and please feel free to ask any questions .
