Description
Made for only a very brief moment in the late '90s/early '00s, the Smart Wood series consisted of six guitars featuring tops fashioned from unusual, "smartly" harvested tropical woods. Composed of mahogany bodies and necks, each of the six models in the line featured tops made from a different but equally stunning wood. Chancharana is a deep, warm-brown russet with some nice flame figuring. Professionally set up & ready to play straight out of the case.
Cosmetic Condition: Excellent condition overall & very clean with only some mild surface scratches.
Neck: Mahogany neck with white side-dots. Curupay fingerboard with mother of pearl dot inlays. Frets are in great shape with hardly any wear. Gibson Deluxe tuners & Smart Wood truss rod cover. 1 11/16" nut width; 24 3/4" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod works fine.
Body: Contoured, solid mahogany body with Chancharana top. The body depth is only about 1 1/2 inches. Stopbar tailpiece & Tune-O-Matic bridge with gold hardware. Guitar weighs a delightful 7 lbs 4.2 oz & is very resonant.
Electronics: Gibson 490R & 498T humbuckers with gold covers & cream bezels. Dual volume & tone controls with gold "top hat" knobs; 3-way toggle switch. All electronics are in good working condition.
