According to Gruhn’s Guide to Vintage Guitars, the Gibson Custom Line-20 Standard Plus originated in 1997 as a “thin-shouldered” dreadnought flat-top with a solid spruce top and Chechen arched back and sides. This particular instrument’s serial number (92697043) indicates it was made on the 26th day of September 1997, and was the 19th instrument made that day. This is significant because Gibson’s Custom Line series started at the Bozeman, Montana, plant in that year but quickly morphed into the Songbird/Songwriter series starting in 1998, with the last Songwriter produced in 2008. Thus this CL-20 is one of a rather rare breed.The CL-20 has a 14/20-fret rosewood finger board with notched diamond abalone inlay, a tortoise two-point pick guard, a multi-stripe and abalone inlaid rosette, a rosewood bird-and-beak bridge with white pins, and full body binding, top and back. It has Gibson nickel-plated tuners. For larger venues it has a factory transducer pickup accessed through the end pin jack. It is clearly designed to represent a beautiful—even flashy--guitar, but also with the quality materials and huge sound for which Gibsons have been famous for decades.Cosmetically, this 20-year-old guitar has very few nicks in that flashy finish; The action is set up at a hair under 3/32” at the 12th fret low E, this classic Gibson sounds and plays great and is ready to go. This Guitar is in Excellent Condition. Some minor Pick/Clearcoat Surface swirling to the back of guitar. Also, has some minor play-wear but overall in solid condition.
