Overview

Extraordinarily warm, snappy and inspired.

The Johnny A. Spruce Top series from Gibson Custom blends the snappy and responsive personality of a large, long-scale archtop guitar into a small form with great balance and feel. Its rich, lively tone comes from a solid mahogany body that's been carved to create a semi-hollow chamber underneath a solid, carved Spruce top. Impressive throwback aesthetics harken back to the rare spruce top doubleneck guitars made by Gibson in the late 1950s. Includes hardshell case.
