1991 Gibson Montana Advanced Jumbo - Early re-issue

Serial # : 91331014
A very early production model from Gibson Montana. This guitar is an all original classic. No cracks or repairs. A strap button on the heel is the only addition. It has the nitrocellulose lacquer that the 1990 models lacked, resulting in a more open sound. It has also resulted in a foggy area on the lower bout from forearm sweat. It is neither large nor very noticeable (visible as I could get it in pic #2, slightly there in #1). This guitar has a tobacco burst quality to the finish - the fade is to a reddish brown instead of a dark black (pic #1 captures the true color the best). Beautifully matched rosewood back - the white streak in pic #3 is from camera flash. Small play wear - string scratch on the headstock, small finish marks, etc. This guitar has been played and loved for almost 20 years. The classic Bluegrass cannon.
Comes with a Non-OHSC (the original fell apart a few years ago). Gibson brand, never even pulled the combination lock tab.
Happy to answer questions or provide more pics. Selling to finance a studio project. Guitar is also for sale locally, so listing may not last.

I want this fine instrument to go to someone who will PLAY it and appreciate it for the amazing tool it is.
