Gilbert was an innovator and the list of artists who played Gilbert guitars is long and distinguished including David Russell, Marc Teicholz, David Tanenbaum and others. He built in a thoughtful, almost ‘German engineering’ way due to his background, and created guitars that are very controlled, focused and precise. He used his own style: nearly parallel 5 strut fan bracing.

This is a wonderful example of why his guitars were, and are, valued by so many, Pure Gilbert, any fan of his guitars will adore this one,very balanced and even in tone with tremendous potential in every note for the player to craft as they wish and with excellent volume as well. Very clear, rich deep tone, excellent projection and highly responsive.

Yes this guitar has visible playing wear, but it is also very well played in and very very open. A players guitar.

Comes with a Mark Leaf Case.
