Please check out the pictures and ask any questions you might have before offering to buy it. I have tried to be perfectly clear and accurate in describing this unique instrument and its case, so its return will not be accepted unless it can be shown that it was egregiously misrepresented in this listing. Payment by Paypal is preferred cashiers and personal checks are acceptable, but checks must clear before the guitar will be shipped. Naturally the arched construction offers excellent protection to this fine guitar.īuyer pays a flat rate of $55 for insurance and shipping to the lower forty-eight states shipping costs elsewhere will be negotiated as necessary. The hardware all works perfectly (although I don’t have a key to the lock), and it fits the instrument extremely well. The included thermoplastic hard shell case is not original with this guitar, but it obviously reinforces the image of an outstanding instrument. The action is set up at a hair under 3/32” at the 12th fret low E, the nut and saddle have been upgraded to bone, and this classic Gibson sounds and plays great and is ready to go. The neck repair is perfectly stable and smooth but very visible because of the black overspray it has no effect on the playability of the guitar.
GIBSON SONGBIRD CRACK
It is clearly designed to represent a beautiful-even flashy-guitar, but also with the quality materials and huge sound for which Gibsons have been famous for decades.Ĭosmetically, this 19-year-old guitar has very few nicks and dings in that flashy finish however, there is widespread crazing on the back, a professionally repaired dent and connected crack in the top lower bout, and a beautifully repaired crack in the headstock/neck area. For larger venues it has a factory transducer pickup accessed through the end pin jack. It has Gibson nickel-plated tuners, and a replacement decal logo on the mahogany headstock.

GIBSON SONGBIRD FULL
The CL-20 has a 14/20-fret rosewood finger board with notched diamond abalone inlay, a tortoise two-point pick guard, a multi-stripe and abalone inlaid rosette, a rosewood bird-and-beak bridge with white pins, and full body binding, top and back. Thus this CL-20 is one of a rather rare breed.

This is significant because Gibson’s Custom Line series started at the Bozeman, Montana, plant in that year but quickly morphed into the Songbird/Songwriter series starting in 1998, with the last Songwriter produced in 2008.

A gig bag is included.According to Gruhn’s Guide to Vintage Guitars, the Gibson Custom Line-20 Standard Plus originated in 1997 as a “thin-shouldered” dreadnought flat-top with a solid spruce top and Chechen arched back and sides. The G-Bird also comes equipped with an LR Baggs™ Element Bronze pickup system, so it will always sound as good to your audience as it does to you. The utile neck, with its easy-playing Advanced Response neck profile, is so comfortable you won’t want to put it down. The TUSQ® nut and saddle, along with chrome Grover® Mini Rotomatic® tuners, deliver solid tuning stability so you can spend more time playing instead of tuning. This square-shoulder dreadnought delivers all the rich low end and well-balanced mids and highs the original Hummingbird is famous for. It features a stunning solid Sitka spruce top and solid walnut back and sides for the ultimate in crisp, resonant tone. The G-Bird is part of the Generation™ Collection, and like all models in this collection, it’s made in Bozeman, MT, by the same highly skilled craftspeople who make all Gibson acoustics.


The Gibson Player Port allows you to hear the guitar like you've never heard it before-the same way your audience hears it-maximizing its sonic impact for an immersive playing and listening experience. The Player Port is an original Gibson concept from the early 1960s that has since been refined by our acoustic luthier team to deliver revolutionary sonic improvement and add a new dimension to the G-Bird’s sound. The G-Bird represents the glorious legacy of the Gibson Hummingbird™ colliding with modern sonic enhancement through the Gibson Player Port™.
