For sale is a rare Gibson Nick Lucas Reissue, built in 2001. This model is a tribute to Nick Lucas, one of the true pioneers of the guitar world. With its deep body, a solid spruce top, and flamed maple back and sides, this guitar offers rich, powerful bass and a balanced tone between the highs and mids—perfect for folk and blues.
Thanks to the 14-fret mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, and classic sunburst finish, the guitar exudes a beautiful vintage aesthetic. The deep 00-body combined with scalloped bracing delivers the depth and punch of a dreadnought in a more compact format. The Nick Lucas inlays on the fingerboard, firestripe pickguard, and classic Gibson logo perfectly complete the overall look.
The guitar has seen plenty of play over its 23 years, and it shows. There are numerous signs of wear, including scratches, dings, and small lacquer cracks. Together, these create a stunning vintage appearance.
Technically, it’s in excellent condition, with no cracks in the wood or anything similar. The frets show light wear but still play flawlessly.
The sound is simply breathtaking.
This is a guitar to fall in love with.
