A rare Gibson Everly Brothers J-180 Reissue from 1989. This Gibson flattop with its signature double pickguard still manages to turn heads with its unique looks and striking sound.
Although not as rare as the original vintage Everly Brothers models, you won't see this 1989 reissue appear for sale very often. The features are essentially the same as the vintage original with solid maple back and sides matched to a Sitka spruce top, piano black finish with cream bindings, signature double oversized tortoise pickguards, 20-fret mahogany set neck with rosewood fretboard and pearl "star" position markers, single pearl star headstock inlay and vintage style double line tuners.
This 1989 model is in great condition – the ebony nitro finish is just starting to craze on the top giving it a very cool vintage look. There are some very small marks to the back and one small mark to the side (see last 2 pictures) but overall the guitar is in brilliant shape for 39 years of age – comes complete with its original Gibson tan hard case.
