1963 Barney Kessel Cherry Burst Item Description
This is a vintage 1967 Gibson Barney Kessel in a bright Cherry Burst finish over the spruce and maple body. The guitar is in great shape for its aged with a fair share of finish checking and a handful of dings on the top. The neck has one large dent on the back around the fifth fret as pictured that you can feel as you're playing. The electronics are all original and working as they should! The original nylon saddles were changed out, but included in the case pocket! An older Gibson USA hardshell case is included.
