This Venetian cutaway archtop represents Gibson's steps towards simplicity and sustainability. Using a new construction technique, Gibson has cut the amount of wood needed for the Spruce top by one-third, and the amount of wood needed for the Mahogany neck by one-half. The Spruce top and Maple back are formed from bookmatched pieces of wood formed through Gibson's Solid Formed technique. This keeps the woodgrain together, allowing for more projection and richer tone. The Johnny Smith neck-mount humbucker provides all the warm jazz tone you would expect from a Gibson Archtop. This instrument is in excellent condition with little to no signs of previous play time to be seen on it, just a few pick marks if you look hard enough.
Includes: Hardshell Case
