Gibson Acoustic

2005 GIBSON ADVANCED JUMBO-REINTRODUCED IN 1990. ORIGINAL RUN 1936-1940 WITH AROUND 300 MADE IN THAT SPAN. THIS GUITAR WAS MADE IN BOZEMAN, MONTANA TO ORIGINAL DESIGN SPECS AS PART OF GIBSON HISTORIC COLLECTION. SOLID INDIAN ROSEWOOD BACK AND SIDES, SOLID SITKA SPRUCE TOP, ONE-PIECE MAHOGANY NECK, ROSEWOOD FRETBOARD WITH MOP DIAMOND AND ARROW INLAYS, AND THE HEADSTOCK WITH OLD STYLE GIBSON SCRIPT. 30'S STYLE OPEN-SLOT ROSEWOOD BRIDGE, FIRESTRIPE PICKGUARD AND OPEN-BACK NICKLE PLATED GOTON TUNERS. 25 1/2" LONG SCALE. BUILT LATE IN THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY APRIL 20TH 2005. I'VE PLAYED THIS GUITAR WITH TAKAMINE/FENDERS/IBANEZ AND OTHER GIBSONS AND IT BLOWS THEM ALL AWAY! THE TONE AND SUSTAIN ARE FANTASTIC AND THE SOUND WITH A GOOD MIC THROUGH, A GOOD P.A. IS UNREAL. IT RIVALS THE BEST RECORDINGS YOU'VE EVER HEARD. THIS GUITAR HAS ONLY BEEN GIGGED OUT A FEW TIMES, BUT LIKE ALL MY AXES IT WAS BOUGHT TO BE PLAYED. TWO VERY SMALL (MIC STAND DINGS), ONE ON TOP LOWER BOUT, AND ONE NEAR STRAP BUTTON SHOWN IN PICS AS BEST I COULD. VERY MINOR PICK SCRATCHES ABOVE SOUND HOLE. OTHER THAN THAT AND NEW STRINGS IT IS IT WAS WHEN IT LEFT THE FACTORY. THE GUITAR COMES WITH IT'S ORIGINAL GIBSON CASE (PICTURED) AND I MAY (NOT SURE BUT WILL TRY) FIND THE CASE CANDY. I HAVE BEEN OFFERED $1,100 FROM MY LOCAL GUITAR CENTER STORE AS AN OUTRIGHT BUY OUT AND THIS IS WHERE I WILL START THE BIDDING. THE GUITAR IS FOR SALE AND OTHER SITES AND I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY, BUT ONLY IF THERE ARE NO BIDS YET, SO DON'T SIT ON YOUR HANDS AND WAIT TILL THE LAST MINUTE OR IT MAY JUST DISAPPEAR. AGAIN ONCE I HAVE ONE BID I WILL NOT END AUCTION EARLY. PLEASE IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS JUST ASK. THE SHIPPING WILL BE A STRAIGHT 50.00 NO MATTER WHAT THIS TERRIBLE EBAY SHIPPING STUFF SAYS.
