Here's a unique opportunity to own a guitar that's in the exact condition as when it left the factory about 20 years ago. This comes from a collector I know who is selling off most of his 50 guitars (he only played about 3 of them) and this is an opportunity too good to pass up! This guitar strictly hung on display in his music room (2nd photo) and was never touched. In fact, still has the original strings from the factory! Case is in great shape. Weight according to our scale is appx: 10 lbs 12 oz. We ship to the 48 contiguous United States.

This fine specimen was ordered directly Gibson.

Can't find a better one in existence. It was displayed in a store. Guitar was brought straight home after purchasing, to be displayed in collector's music room, in a climate controlled environment.

This was the guitar that made Neil Young famous.
