Description
What’s special about this guitar: This guitar is the result of collaboration between Billy F. Gibbons and Bo Diddley to create a 21st-century version of the elusive Gretsch Jupiter Thunderbird. The result is a hollowbody electric with a remarkable tone and truly one-of-a-kind looks. Aside from the unique body shape, other features include a very comfortable soft “V” shaped neck and a pair of TV Jones PowerTron Plus pickups.
Condition: This guitar is in very good overall shape! There are various light surface scratches and a few small nicks and dings throughout the guitar. The protective plastic wrap is still intact on the pickguard! Fingerboard and frets have hardly any play wear and tons of life left in them. The neck is nice and straight and the truss rod functions perfectly. Some soldering work has been done but all electronics and parts are in perfect working condition.
