Built in 1998 by the guys who stayed behind in Kalamazoo, this is their take on the Gibson ES-350. Played very little, never on a gig, stored carefully so that it's pretty much show room new, but has the mellowed sound of two decades of aging.
In collectible condition, but a great ax for someone who lusts for a high-end American-made arch-top with some real character. Jazz, Rockabilly, whatever, you will be blown away by how this guitar plays and how it sounds.
Hold and love this guitar, and celebrate its 20th anniversary together.
All stock, set up recently by McCabes in LA.
