Gibson / Barney Kessel Std. / 1966 / Cherry Sunburst / Guitar
The Barney Kessel name has long been associated w/the Gibson Guitar Co. for many years as he was endorsed by them since 1962. He was an amazing player & performer so much so, he had 2 guitars w/his name on it. They made a “Standard” model & a bit fancier “Custom” model both w/the sharp double cutaway body but the Standard was made in far less #’s than the Custom model. This example has a lovely Cherry Sunburst finish over a figured maple body w/some flamey maple all over. Its got a 1 piece mahogany neck. Its rosewood fingerboard is adorned with double parallelogram inlays on each fret marker. Its loaded w/a pair of Pat. # stickered Humbuckers. Its Kluson Deluxe tuners hold tune well. Its orange label is still clean & in place. Its multi layer BWB pickgard pulls it all together. These also had a tun-a-matic bridge & Barney’s wooden insert w/his name in its trapeze tailpiece. Its exceptionally clean overall & comes in nice generic period hard case.
