For you consideration is a rare 1998 Gibson CL-40 Artist with its original hardshell case in excellent condition. This model was only made from 1997 to 1998 and was replaced by the Songbird (a.k.a Songwriter). Please read this entire description, look through all photos, and reach out with questions prior to purchasing as  I do not accept returns.

This is a 2 owner guitar and as you can tell it has lived in its case most of its life. The body shows minimal signs of play, with minimal strumming marks on the tortoise pick guard. There are a few tiny dings on the face of the body which were hard to capture for pictures. The factory installed Piezo pickup has been tested and functions properly. Recently strung with Elixir light gauge strings.
