Talk about oozing with the right kind of MOJO. This all original tone monster is an absolute beast and sounds as good as she looks in every way. This "Custom" model is/was one of their top of the line acoustics that was the dream and inspiration of many. It projects fiercely and has a warm and inviting sound that is perfect for songwriting inspiration. It has really opened up over the last 50 years and the tone-woods really shine. It has a fast and easy to play neck that is not too thin and maintains substantial chunk for you to hold onto nicely. Cosmetically it is in pretty fine shape with absolutely no repairs, cracks breaks or modifications, only some some small dings, finish cracks and super fine surface scratches if you look hard enough. The headstock has an area with some finish reaction/discoloration that looks like little white specs. (See Pics) The bridge is rock solid and not lifting, there is no belly or any issues whatsoever. There are some finish cracks that can be seen in the pics, they absolutely don't run through the wood and are purely cosmetic. The neck is straight with no pitching and the truss rod works flawlessly. Overall she is a wonderful playing and sounding classic Gibson acoustic that was made at their beloved and historic factory in Kalamazoo Michigan. Don't snooze on this one, she is gonna knock your socks off.

Terms For Returns & Re-Stocking Fee’s

We recognize and accept a 7 day return policy as per Reverb guidelines, BUT intentions of the return must be communicated in writing within 3 day of receiving the guitar as indicated by the tracking. Unless the guitar is not as described, ORIGINAL & RETURN SHIPPING COSTS WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. There is a 10% Re-stocking fee for ALL guitars that are returned for ANY reason outside of damage from shipping or it arrives significantly not as described. Please note that we record demo videos to make sure our guitars go out exactly as we describe them with zero issues. We understand that feeling comfortable is vital to the purchase of a guitar/bass so in any case, additional measurements or in hand descriptions are available prior to purchase/shipping. Thats said, guitars travel a great distance some times and in transit things can happen. Also guitars acclimate to new environments and this can cause a need for a new set up or minor adjustment. It is acceptable and normal if there is for instance a tiny bit of buzzing or the need to adjust a truss rod. We are in south Florida and if you are in a colder or less humid environment it is almost to be expected. Please read our feedback and see what our customers say. The guitar MUST BE RETURNED IN THE EXACT CONDITION it was advertised/received or it is subject to additional costs & or repair fees. We are not a big chain shop, I hope you understand. If you are uncomfortable with these terms please do not purchase. There are plenty big chain shops that can absorb free trials and shipping.
