2016 Gibson Citation - Natural

Incredible piece of art...The Gibson Citation. Super rare handbuilt archtop guitar that was only available in lowest numbers since it was built by one or two people in a special department of the Custom Shop factory in Nashville. Serial number 2016003 - the 3rd one they made in 2016, warranty card signed in May 2016 - which shows how limited the production was. Gibson has been known for producing the world’s finest archtop guitars ever since founder Orville Gibson invented the format way back in the 1890s. In 1969, the company decided to celebrate its artistry in the best way it knew how: by making the most elegant, finely crafted archtop guitar conceivable. Dubbed the Citation, and only created in extremely limited numbers, this model became an instant collector’s item, and has remained one throughout its sporadic production runs. This guitar is mint, never played and comes with a leather covered highend case and certificate. Wonderful collector's piece also a great sounding top-of-the-line Gibson archtop guitar!
