This is a rare Gibson Futura guitar for salvage, made in USA circa 1983. The Futura was similar to the Corvus 2 except it had a neck-through design, an ebony fret board and a sleeker body that tapers towards the bottom by the lower strap peg. These were only produced for a couple of years. This one was factory routed for a Kahler type that utilizes the TOM mounts. This is a project guitar that will require a full complement of hardware and electronics. The neck is straight, the truss rod works well. The low, wide Gibson frets show minor to moderate wear. The guitar was non-professionally resprayed in a Ferrari red finish that shows flaws. There are no mods or structural damage, the only damage to the wood is in the rear where a small hole was drilled, presumably to remove the rear TOM mounting bushing (pic 10).This item comes exactly as pictured and ships free only within the contiguous 48 United States. Please contact me if you'd like higher resolution photos or an in-hand description. This item is also available for sale locally, sale may end at any time. Please see photos and ask any questions before buying. No returns on items unless condition is not as described.
