GIBSON Guitars111, Barney Kessel (Sunburst) 1, 1963

Maple body; Mahogany neck; Rosewood fretboard, 7 lbs., 4oz.

Body: Hollow maple (marked 2nd, serial number dates to 1963)
Neck: Mahogany neck with a medium-round profile, 1 11/16” wide nut, rosewood fretboard, 12” radius, and split parallelogram inlays
Pickups/Hardware: Kluson Deluxe tuners, two humbuckers (Rated at 7.6kOhms in the neck and 8.0k in the bridge), three-way pickup selector switch, independent volume and tone controls
Cosmetic Condition: The finish has a lot of heavy checking throughout the entire guitar as well as some normal play wear. For it’s age, the body looks very clean with only some light dings and blemishes here and there. Most of the hardware and electronics are repro parts but the finish is all original and has a great vintage look. The neck has more checking lines that run the entire length all the way up the headstock. Checking lines aside, the neck and headstock are both very clean and free of any major dings or damage. This Barney Kessel is in amazing shape!
Playability: The strings are low, play great, and ring out clearly across the board.
Modifications/Repairs: Repro kluson tuners, refret, repro switch, Burstbucker pro pickups, repro guard, repro knobs, repro bridge, L-5 tailpiece, repro wiring harness, repro jack
