This 2009 Gibson Johnny A Signature model is a prime example of a great, modern Gibson. What initially grabs you is the look - familiar, yet a little different somehow. Upon further inspection you notice some really nice, subtle details: the multi-ply binding, the neck carve feels like a great blend of a 50s / 60s ES-335, the body pulls some queues from SGs and the Barney Kessel / Trini Lopez artist model hollowbodies from the 1960s.
Sonically, the carved semi-hollow construction brings in a strong ES-335-meets-LP vibe. These all add up to a very playable instrument that immediately feels like a vintage guitar. This is also a super light guitar, weighing just under 7lbs.
Condition: Very Good+. Moderate signs of prior ownership. Some buckle rash on the back of the guitar along with various small nicks and scuffs in the finish. Light fretwear with light hardware patina. Original hardshell case and COA included.
