Very unique and RARE first year Gibson Sonex! Resowood body with the rare Bill Lawrence designed velvet brick pickups. All original. A few small marks and impressions. Plays and sounds great! Our luthier has repaired two cracks in the neck by flexing open and injecting glue. Repair is rock solid and will last a lifetime. (see last pics). Neck volume pot is scratchy, will include a new correct potentiometer with the guitar, our luthier kept it as in in the interest of keeping it all original.
