1968 Gibson Barney Kessel Custom – Cherry Sunburst

Well Strung Guitars

Description

Check out this gorgeous 1968 Gibson Barney Kessel Custom in its original and vibrant Cherry Sunburst finish! The entire instrument shows insanely figured maple, from the neck to the maple top, back, and sides. Thanks to a comfortable neck profile and flat-wound strings, this is a joy to play. Along with great playability come two balanced pickups that can nail any playstyle, whether jazz or rock! This guitar and its finish are entirely original, and it has a light patina, weather checking, and some light playwear—the only note is a touch-up to the 5th fret side dot. 


Overall Condition: 8, weather checking, patina and light playwear
