A scarce piece of Gibson factory correspondence, this original March 19, 1969 letter documents the return authorization for a Gibson J-45 (Serial No. 945024) requiring factory service. Typed on official Gibson letterhead and signed by Tom Pooton of the Sales Department, the letter outlines the repair process and return instructions, offering a fascinating glimpse into Gibson's customer service operations during the late 1960s. An outstanding collectible for Gibson enthusiasts, vintage guitar historians, or anyone assembling an archive of original factory documents.
