Gibson Tal Farlow guitar -- 1997 model -- Viceroy Brown

Description: ncredible Gibson Tal Farlow guitar -- one of the most beautiful examples I have seen -- great flame maple figuring front, back and sides -- and back of neck. Note that Gibson doesn't make arch tops any longer -- so these are rare models and the Tal Farlow is one of the best -- like an ES-350 or L-5 for much less.Photos don't do this guitar justice - great flame maple and great shape!!!Tal was a giant of jazz players (I saw him once and was blown away) and his signature model has great touches -- 25.5 inch scale, maple top, back and sides and rosewood fingerboard. Beautiful touches include inlaid scroll above pickguard, reverse crown inlays, and striking pickguard design. Two Gibson 57 classic pickups -- guitar is all original.17 inch bout and 3 inch depthLooks great yes -- but sound is fantastic -- you can play jazz, R&B, blues -- the combination of the great attack from the maple boards, the 57 classics, and the long scale length make this a unique and incredible guitar. Plays great -- very little fretwear and no visible dings. Guitar has largely been in the case. I LOVE the guitar, but rarely play it so it should go to someone who will -- I play out rarely now and mainly play acoustic so this should be used. These are VERY HARD to find!!!! An original from the 60s is probably 3x the price or more -- they only made 215. And the reissues were also rare.Made by the Gibson custom shop -- their best luthiers. These guitars have the best materials -- fit and finish is flawless. This is a super-fine example that is an heirloom piece -- since they no longer make them (or any archtops) the value is sure to increase.An inspiring guitar to play, look at or own.Includes original brown case with plush pink stuffing and shroud.
