Description

An absolutely gorgeous Gibson archtop from the legendary Kalamazoo, Michigan factory—home to some of the most sought-after guitars ever made.

This Gibson features a single P-90 that delivers rich, creamy tones and is ready to play right out of the case.

In exceptional condition for its age, it shows light natural finish checking and minor nicks and dings—adding plenty of authentic ’60s mojo.

The slender mahogany neck has cream side dots, a dark rosewood fretboard with mother-of-pearl inlays, and original frets in great shape. It’s fitted with Kluson Deluxe strip tuners (white buttons), has a 1 11/16" nut width, 24 3/4" scale length, a straight neck, and a fully functional truss rod.

The double-bound maple hollow body features a Florentine cutaway, Cherry Sunburst finish, dual F-holes, trapeze tailpiece, and a compensated rosewood bridge on a floating base. Nickel hardware and a tortoise pickguard complete the look.

Equipped with a single neck-position P-90 (black dog-ear cover), master volume and tone controls with gold knobs—everything works perfectly.
