The Story

Citation Archtop Electric Guitar Natural

The Gibson Citation archtop is considered the creme-de-la-creme of Gibson archtops. First built in the 1960s, the guitar represented the best of what Gibson's luthiers were capable of. They used the highest grade woods, the most ornate inlay work, 24-karat gold plating on hardware, and the finest craftsmanship in what amounted to a guitar with the most gorgeous aesthetic elegance and tone.

Includes: Custom Shop Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Paperwork, Polish Cloth
