1966 Gibson Firbird III

[bulletbob]

In incredible original condition,, still shiny as new.. 9+ out of 10.. NO play wear,- none.

Frets are perfect, and NO board wear. Bought from the original owner who is a good friend.. This is a collectors condition guitar.

He played it a few times in the 60's put it in the case after a few months and it stayed there for 40 years.. The case is as minty as the guitar..

The neck looks brand new front,back, and sides. Never played much, and it shows

On all these old Birds, the guards shrink a bit and cause cracks around the screwholes.. They all do it.

There are some tiny circular dings in the back of the guitar.. I think it may have been played once by my friend while wearing a pointy belt buckle..

I had Rumble Seat Music look at it last year or so, and they offered me $2,000 cash and a $1,700 strat that I lusted after...

Asking $3,000 firm plus shipping... May consider partial trades, but need 2,000 anyway... I would prefer if the buyer used Fedex Office shipping.. More expensive, but THEY pack it and its 100% guaranteed..

No matter how perfectly I pack it myself, and I DO pack well, there will be problems if something bad happens during shipping... These necks are very fragile, and I would be devastated if something happened to this one.. Its the cleanest 44 year old guitar you will ever see anywhere...

anyway, its for sale, check prices on these,, I am pricing it really well... please respond with offers to my email... ..bob
