Coming from a collection of fantastic vintage 300 series Gibsons, this guitar has been looked after by it’s previous owner for over 30 years, the condition of this 60 year old instrument is remarkable. The ultra rare PAF pickups and Brazilian rosewood fingerboard make this guitar highly desirable. The Bigsby, although fitted aftermarket, is itself vintage and we believe to be not too much younger than the guitar. The pots date to 1962 which backs up the serial number dating to 1963. Most other hardware appears to be original bar one replacement screw in the neck pickup mounting ring. Though there are no signs of breaks in the neck, it has been re-finished, presumably from a re-fret when performed on this guitar.
