Description
What makes this guitar special: This is a fantastic Special with excellent tone and playability. The P-90s in this guitar have rich character across the board from its surprisingly big, warm, and full neck to the classic-sounding jangle of the bridge. The neck plays great head to toe and will be familiar to a wide variety of players due to its common shape. The body does show some signs of wear, but despite this, it is still in great shape, meaning previous owners likely must have played it often, yet still took enough care to try to keep it as clean as possible.
Condition: This guitar is in very good condition overall. It does show various nicks, dings, dents, scuffs, scratches, and finish checking, but largely remains very clean and still looks great for its age. The frets show only mild wear but are even and still play just fine head to toe. The neck is straight and the truss rod functions as it should.
Body: Double cutaway mahogany body in Cherry finish. 5-ply black pickguard. Black top hat control knobs with silver inserts. Tune-o-matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece.
Neck: Slim to medium depth C shape mahogany neck and cream-bound rosewood fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays. 1 11/16” nut width. Vintage-style Gibson Deluxe tuning machines with cream buttons. 24 ¾” scale.
Electronics: Gibson P-90 single-coil pickups in the neck and bridge. 2 x volume, 2 x tone controls. 3-way pickup selector.
Weight: 8 lbs 4.4 oz
Playability/Sound: The P-90s in this guitar are full of clean chime and sound great in all three positions. The neck is warm and full, the middle is more focused with a bit more articulation and the bridge is chock full of vintage-sounding jangle.
Case: Includes original hardshell case.
