Wartime Gibsons are famous for 'one offs', they used parts and put together a lot of unusual guitars; this is one of them. Really highly unusual stunning wood on the back, fully carved, great sound. The tuners have been replaced with correct vintage reproductions, there is some capo wear on the neck, although they are slightly off to the side and I don't feel them when playing it, other than that it is one cool archtop guitar.
