THERE ARE NOT MANY OF THESE AROUND, IN FACT, I\'VE SEEN ANOTHER ONE SELL ON AND THAT SELLER SAID IT WAS ONE OF ONLY SIX EVER BUILT. THIS WAS A HIGH END ARCHTOP GIBSON MADE FOR SOME OTHER BUSINESS TO SELL.(MODEL G-8 ?) SOUNDS INCREDIBLE. LOUD AND POWERFUL. GREAT FOR PLAYING BLUES AND SLIDE. ITS ALSO RARE IN ITS CONSTRUCTION WITH A MUCH THICKER BODY THAN STANDARD ARCHTOPS. BODY IS PROBABLY AROUND 5 INCHES THICK AT THE CENTER. THE NECK INLAY DESIGN IS UNIQUE TO THIS MODEL GUITAR. FEATURES A SOLID CARVED SPRUCE TOP. BACK AND SIDES ARE MAHOGANY. IT HAS 2 CRACKs ON TOP THAT PROBABLY DEVELOPED OVER THE YEARS OF BEING PLAYED WITH ONE OF THE RAREST AND EARLIEST TREMOLO / WHAMMY BARS I HAVE EVER SEEN! THE BAR AS WELL AS THE BRIDGE ARE ORIGINAL TO THE GUITAR. THE FINISH IS ORIGINAL BUT WORN AS SEEN IN PICTURES. THE BINDING ON NECK AND BODY AS WELL AS THE INLAY ARE CLEAN AND ORIGINAL. THE TUNERS HAVE BEEN REPLACED IN ORDER TO SPARE ANY MORE WEAR TO THE ORIGINALS. THE ORIGINALS WILL BE INCLUDED AS WELL AND ARE STILL WORKING. THIS IS THE GUITAR I\'VE USED FOR MANY YEARS FOR ACOUSTIC BLUES PLAYING WITH SLIDE AND DROPPED D TUNING. THE ACTION IS GREAT FOR THIS BUT A LITTLE HIGH FOR JAZZ PLAYING. NICE OLD V STYLE NECK.
