Vintage Silvertone archtop W / RARE Gibson Johnny Smith pickguard / pickup

Vintage Silvertone archtop W / RARE Gibson Johnny Smith pickguard / pickup

Jupiter, Florida, 334**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$1150

Thanks for looking! I purchased this guitar used maybe 15 years ago. Since, I had a new nut cut to widen strings a bit (narrow 1 56 inch board - great for small hands!) - and I purchased a used Johnny Smith pickguard - installed by pro. I got the pickguard from a shop closing in NOLA quarter maybe 12 years ago - 100 cash - I doubt there was much in the way of knockoffs back then, but I can??t be certain it is from a Gibson. That said, it is really tight work on 5 ply and pickup / knobs. There is... more

1962 Gibson Johnny Smith Archtop Guitar

1962 Gibson Johnny Smith Archtop Guitar

Palo Alto, California, 943**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$4500

Here??s what we know, and what we don??t, about this early 1960s Gibson Johnny Smith guitar. Finish added to the back of the headstock has made the serial number difficult to read, but it??s clear there are only 5 digits, and we??re fairly certain they are 58061, which would be 1962. But the 5 digits became 6 digits in 1963, and Johnny Smith models were introduced in 1961, so even if our reading of the number isn??t exact the guitar dates to that 3 year period. The paper label under the bass... more

1953 Gibson L-5 CN with 1960s Johnny Smith Pickup - 1 of 4 shipped in 1953

1953 Gibson L-5 CN with 1960s Johnny Smith Pickup - 1 of 4 shipped in 1953

Piedmont, South Carolina, 296**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$17499

This 1953 Gibson L-5CN is one of just four shipped by Gibson that year. At the time this was the top of the line, most expensive 17-inch archtop made by Gibson, due to the cutaway and the necessity for the absolute best woods because of the natural finish. Speaking of the woods, notice the intensely flamed maple used for the back of this guitar. The top is fine grained spruce, the fretboard is ebony with block mother of pearl inlays, as is traditional for an L-5, and the neck is 3-ply flamed ... more
