Description

This Gibson Johnny Smith is owned by George Benson Serial: 00100319 There is a fair amount of wear including scratches, scuffs, dings and lacquer cracks throughout. Generally, the guitar is in good structural condition. The screws on the pick guard are quite tarnished/rusted, appearing as if they might crumble. The main issues are with the electronics and the second string (1/8" input to 1/4" out, cable included). The jack is quite scratchy and likely needs a cleaning, or perhaps some more detailed electronic work. The second string, when played open or fretted, produces a very dissonant overtone, preventing the instrument from being played in tune. This will also need to be worked on by a professional. Otherwise, it's a beautiful instrument that, after receiving some care, will absolutely sing. Comes with hardshell case. All items in The Official George Benson Reverb Shop ship fully insured with delivery confirmation and a signed and embossed Certificate Of Authenticity.
