VINTAGE GIBSON BARNEY KESSEL CUSTOM W/CASE

One of the coolest guitars of all time!  The Gibson Barney Kessel Custom!   

This rare 1968 model is an absolute stunner!  From the Stinger headstock, to the Custom appointments and Bowtie inlay.   The tones supplied by the original Gibson T-Top pickups with a wild out of phase center postion sound.   Small, compact late 60's neck makes this a great player as well. 

This is in fantastic condition and includes original case!
