Available for consignment sale!\u003cbr\u003e We have received a new shipment of archtop models featuring a distinctive hammered gold finish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Gibson Demo\/Mod Shop was launched with the concept of \"creating new value for musical instruments.\" These models are one-of-a-kind prototypes and demo guitars that have been uniquely customized at the Repair \u0026amp; Restoration Center, making them a special series where no two are exactly alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This particular instrument features a hammered gold finish on the top and back, and a satin finish on the sides. Equipped with Custombucker Alnico II pickups, it boasts special Mod Collection features such as aged nickel hardware, witch hat knobs, and a pickguard-less design. The neck shape is an easy-to-handle 1960 Slim Taper, making it very playable. Weighing approximately 3.47kg, it has a well-balanced and manageable feel. It comes with the original hardshell case, Gibson Demo\/Mod Shop One Sheet, certificate of authenticity, and evaluation sheet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Regarding the condition of this particular instrument, as described in the evaluation sheet, there are small indentations in the wood grain, particularly on the back of the neck near the first fret, and slight unevenness in the finish of the heel on the first string side. The headstock has minor dents in the lacquer surface, a small ding near the crown inlay, and a very slight paint chip at the tip of the headstock. In addition, there are scratches on various parts of the binding and minor scuffs on the fingerboard near the lower frets. There are also some small paint cracks near the bridge, but these are all cosmetic and do not affect playability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The frets retain about 70% of their height, and there are no issues with playability, including the neck condition, truss rod, and electronics. There are minor scratches from normal storage and use, and the volume and tone knobs have slightly different designs, although it is unclear whether this is the original design. Overall, however, it shows little signs of use and remains in good condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Includes original hardshell case manufactured in 2022.\u003cbr\u003e Weight ≈ 3.47 kg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody\u003cbr\u003e Laminate Maple, Solid Maple Centerblock(w\/Window)\u003cbr\u003e Finish: Hammered Gold (Top \u0026amp; Back) \/ Satin Finish (Sides)\u003cbr\u003e Neck\u003cbr\u003e Solid Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e Neck Profile: 1960 Slim Taper\u003cbr\u003e 1st Fret Thickness: 0.827\u003cbr\u003e 12th Fret Thickness: 0.938\u003cbr\u003e Nut Width: 1.69\u003cbr\u003e Hardware\u003cbr\u003e Bridge: ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic\u003cbr\u003e Tuners: Kluson\u003cbr\u003e Hardware Finish: Aged Nickel\u003cbr\u003e Electronics\u003cbr\u003e Neck Pickup: Custombucker Alnico II\u003cbr\u003e Bridge Pickup: Custombucker Alnico II\u003cbr\u003e Controls:2 Volume 2 Tone 3-Way Toggle Switch\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44443648229489,"sku":"866679","price":5010.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/866679_01.jpg?v=1788432146","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/products\/866679","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
