• This late ‘60s Gibson Johnny Smith hollowbody is a rare dual pickup model that truly stands out! It dazzles with a sunburst finish on a 17" body with a cutaway. The guitar features an abundance of binding, pearl inlay, and gold hardware. It has an ebony fingerboard on a 5-piece figured maple/walnut neck, an L-5-style tailpiece, and Kluson Sealfast tuners. This guitar delivers great tones from a pair of mini-humbucking pickups. It comes with the original hard shell case. Built in Kalamazoo.
