COLLECTOR'S ITEM:

Rare Robert Johnson Parlor Guitar with Authentic Blues Heritage evoking the sound and soul of early American blues

This Robert Johnson tribute guitar captures the spirit and legacy of a true blues pioneer. Whether you're a collector, player, or admirer of blues history, this remarkable instrument is a conversation piece that deserves to be seen, played, and heard.  More than just a guitar, this piece pays homage to a musical legend whose influence shaped generations of artists.  These guitars were produced around 1993/4, shortly after Samick acquired the Valley Arts Custom Shop but before Gibson eventually purchased the brand in 2002. This (RJ-1935N for Natural) is a small-bodied parlor-style guitar designed to mimic the 1920s Gibson L-1 that Robert Johnson is famously seen holding in a studio portrait.
