The guitar has a butterscotch finish that has faded attractively over time; wear is limited to some buckle rash and back scratches consistent with light use. It was part of a private 20-year collection and comes complete in its original hard shell case (OHSC). Current weight is 8 lbs 14 oz.  We do not have a COA for this guitar. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifically modeled on the 1959 R9 spec, this instrument features a carved maple top over a solid mahogany body, a mahogany neck, and a rosewood fretboard (R9 era spec). It ships with the original case and retains its period-correct appointments and finish checking typical of late-90s Gibson R9s.
