This is a used Gibson Johnny A Standard guitar. The item pictured is the one you will receive. It has been tested and gone over by the experts at our shop. When a guitar is purchased from us it undergoes a final setup check before shipping to ensure it's playing optimally. It is then packed with care and shipped to your door! (But please be aware that it may need slight tweaks upon arrival due to weather differences, jostling during shipping, etc.). Please read the description carefully and check over all photos for condition and wear. We do our best to describe all items as best as possible and note any wear we find, but please be considerate that it is a used piece and it won’t be perfect (Unless noted as "Mint Condition" or "10/10" for condition). If you have any questions about this or any other piece of gear we have, please let us know and we'll be happy to help!

Condition Notes:

- Condition: 9/10

- Fret wear: None

- Any wear of note: This guitar is in truly incredible shape overall! There's one extremely light clear coat finish crack on under the step button on the back. But it is just finish, NOT a wood crack. It's pictured in direct lighting so that it would even showed up in the photo. Very minor. Other than that it just exhibits the normal extremely light swirling in the clear coat (Very standard wear for a used guitar. Can happen from simply being wiped/cleaned with a cloth) that's only really visible in certain lighting. But very minimal and minor, and to be expected from any used guitar. Nothing that will really photograph in that regard.

- General notes: This is an outright stunning guitar that's an absolute beast of a player! It was crafted and designed expertly with every spec making it the best guitar it can be. The hollowed mahogany back provides some gorgeous low-mids and airiness, AND it allows this guitar to come in at a nice and light 6.75lbs! The classic figured maple top brings some nice highs to round everything out sonically. It's also truly striking visually, in a beautiful Bourbon Burst finish that really lets the chevrons pop and play with the light in a stellar way. Then neck is super comfortable and practically effortless to play, and in a very rare 25.5" scale length on a Gibson! But really a spectacular feel. The 57 Classic pickups always sound killer and capture the tone of the guitar perfectly when plugged in. The Bigsby tailpiece never fails to make any guitar a vibey eye-catcher, while being a classic tremolo unit for gorgeous and subtle bar work. This is truly nothing but an outstanding guitar in every facet. You won't want to put it down!

- Accessories included: Original case, COA, hang tags, picture literature and case key only.
