This instrument came from our recently acquired "Kalamazoo Collection." We acquired the collection from a married couple that worked at the original factory from the late 50s until the factory closed in June of 1984. These pieces are uncirculated and mostly untouched in mint or near-mint condition ~ The collection also includes 1000s of pieces of memorabilia, new-old-stock parts, and more ~ reach out with any/all inquiries!

This 1965 Olympic Double is one-of-a-kind with a funky "Gibson" branded Bigsby that came to us blocked - We decided to leave the tremolo as-is but it could be made functional, if anything it looks pretty cool! The design provides a really interesting sound that is unique to itself with a lovely chime and a unique mid-range characteristic. This guitar is 100% original with no playwear at all but displays a few dings, finish checking, and there is a filled hole on the top. Includes original hardshell case.
