Gibson Dealer Authorization Letter 1979

A fascinating piece of Norlin-era Gibson history, this original November 13, 1979 two-page dealer authorization letter officially confirms a dealership's status for the 1979–1980 sales year. Signed by James G. Whitehill, Vice President of Sales, the letter outlines the benefits of authorized Gibson dealership—including literature, promotional displays, dealer discounts, and participation in Gibson programs—while also detailing the responsibilities and sales expectations required to maintain dealer status. An uncommon piece of factory correspondence, this document offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at Gibson's dealer network and is an excellent collectible for Gibson enthusiasts, vintage music store memorabilia collectors, and historians of the musical instrument industry.
