Personal Thoughts:
A superb example of Gibson Memphis craftsmanship before the line was discontinued. The block inlays give it a classy ‘60s aesthetic, while the MHS pickups provide vintage warmth and clarity with excellent balance. It’s lively and articulate, with just the right bite for blues, jazz, or rock. The natural finish over the lightly figured maple top is subtle and timeless. One of the cleanest we’ve had — it looks almost new.
Condition Report:
Mint condition. No visible marks or fret wear. Collector-grade clean. Setup is low and fast with excellent intonation.
