Maple Top

Walnut Back, contrasting Ebony laminate

5-pc Walnut Neck with Purpleheart stringers

Pau Ferro Board

Scale 34", 24 frets, Neck-Through

2 truss rods for perfect setup

Black Hardware

Spacing 17mm at bridge

Bartolini pickups and preamp (V7V + 3-bd-EQ + Freq. switch)

Build year around 1990

Serial 16xx (considered "pre-Gibson" as it was built by Michael Tobias' own crew)

OHSC


A beautiful classic in MINT condition. Low action, low weight - a joy to play and feel. A modern warm and deep sound with crispy highs. Everything is still original. Everything works as it should. Including original Tobias hardcase in used condition.


For me the spacing is unfortunately too narrow so I can let it go.


Asking 3.200 Euro plus shipping from Duesseldorf/Germany.
