Gibson / Tal Farlow / 1993 / Amber Sunburst / Guitar
|
The Tal Farlow model, first released in 1962, is an electric archtop guitar with a body shape that is outwardly very similar to the popular ES-5 in its basic dimensions. The heavy tailpiece also hints towards the L-5 family of Gibson archtops.
This unique and rare model has some distinct visual features as dictated by this gifted guitarist. It’s trademark faux-scroll rounded cutaway (Farlow’s own design), upside-down J-200 fingerboard inlays, double-crown headstock inlays, and Tal Farlow trapeze tailpiece with inlaid rosewood block set it apart from any other archtop Gibson had ever created.
This unusual signature model has always been a rare bird, with only 215 examples produced between 1962-’69. Gibson reissued the Tal Farlow shortly in 1993; this guitar is one of the reissue models from that year. Apart from a small missing portion of the binding at the headstock and some tarnish on the pickups and tailpiece, this guitar is in great condition.
