Gibson Moderne 1982 prototype A002

This is a genuine original 1982 Gibson Moderne prototype from the early A-prefix run

Gibson prototype stamp on back of headstock

This would make it the second Moderne ever made

This is the actual Gibson Moderne Guitar photographed in the Ultimate Guitar Book

Very good condition with a few light marks

Hardly played as it has been in storage for the past 30 years

Comes with original Gibson hard case (handle broken)

Patented in 1957 alongside the Flying V and Explorer, the original Moderne never went into full-scale production, making the 1982 prototype and Heritage release the first real-world incarnations of the design. 

  • Early 1982 pieces (like the A prefix) command premium value because of Gibson's characteristic '80s prototype stamp and their use of original Korina wood
  • P/X Possible
