Up for sale is a stunning 1968 Gibson Barney Kessel Standard in its original Cherry Sunburst finish. I've always loved this model and think it's one of the absolute coolest looking instruments offered by Gibson at this time. This example is largely original including the finish, original patent sticker humbuckers, wiring harness and hardware. Condition wise this guitar is in great shape less some scattered finish checking and signs of finish wear. There is a small superficial crack in the bass side cutaway. It appears stable, but is worth noting. Sounds wonderful and plays great!

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:

We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.

We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us at the Shop for a complete in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
