Vintage guitars for sale: gibson artist

Up for sale is a super cool and hard to find 1981 Gibson Firebird II FM Artist CMT Sunburst. CMT stands for curly maple top and apparently this variation was only offered for a short time in limited numbers. This instrument came out of a collection of guitars that came from an ex Kalamazoo Gibson employee. It is marked "second" indicating a finish flaw or ding when it left Gibson. This is likely how the original owner ended up with it. This is the first and only time this guitar has been on the ... more

Very good condition 1980 Gibson RD Artist Bass. All original, outside of the removal of the Moog electronics. Original pickups sound MASSIVE and have tons of low end on tap. Really a special bass from Gibson that was not made that long. Original sunburst finish looks great on this specific bass. Some signs of play as pictured, but nothing crazy. All electronics have been tested to be working perfectly. Recently set up as well. Kept in a smoke free, pet free studio for recording purposes. Comes ... more

I have my 1978 Gibson RD Artist up for sale here. It is all original, all stock, nothing has been changed since it was created! All the MOOG electronics work great. It's heavy! 9 8 lbs with a back contour and a huge Norlin volute. It is in beautiful shape considering it is 45 years old. Of course, it has some nicks and dings associated with a guitar of this age. It is not a museum piece. The mark on the back of the neck CAN NOT be felt. All of its flaws are in the pictures posted (and there ... more

This a killer bass and a total P bass killer. Gibson released these to compete with the p bass and they are far, far, better quality. Mahogany body, Mable neck, brass nut, active and passive humbuckers with MOOG electronics! All original with the original case. The original case is pretty beat up with a buckle replaced but still road Worthy. Original paperwork still with it. The guitar is set up to play easy with a low action and great sound. One bridge saddle is missing the riser but works ... more

This is a GK-55 Artist made in the Kalamazoo plant shortly before Gibson moved all production down South. It features a bolt on neck and a Moog active preamp. It shows a fair amount of play wear. The controls are vol / vol / bass / treble with a three way switch and a bright switch
