No. 9201. Includes original hardshell case with case key & warranty card inside. From a smoke free, climate controlled home and in excellent plus condition. A one-off "custom" that we ordered for a fine Musician 35 years ago. See the list of special order features below.

Condition- I'd call it "vintage mint." Just some mild pick wear on the treble side of the humbucker and on the Maple pickguard adjacent to the pickup treble side. Has some minimal fret wear, however it's playing so well that it really requires no fret dress, nor our PLEK process. She just plays great & sounds amazingly traditional & vintage. This is a wonderful custom archtop, styled after the older Gibson Citation model. The woods are gorgeous! Features include:

* Optional 1.75 inch nut width. 25.5" scale length, 20 medium jumbo frets

* 17 inch lower bout width, 3" rim depth, 17 degree peghead angle. Inlaid peghead.

* All solid woods: Premium upcharge AAAA Flamed Maple body, 5 pc. fancy neck - shallow C medium carve, Sitka Spruce top.

* Parallel top bracing by special order, for added warmth

* Optional 3 ply f hole binding. Deluxe binding all around.

* Cupid's bow at the treble end of the fingerboard.

* Truss rod cover is the original Heritage shape and they changed that shape after a minor legal dust up with Gibson. Heritage prevailed. It is solid M.O. Pearl.

* Deluxe inlays all around. Special tailpiece Ebony insert with inlaid Eagle.

* Gold plated hardware. Grover Rotomatic tuning keys with Imperial buttons

* End pin input/strap attach. Neck heel strap button

* African Ebony 12" radius fingerboard with M.O. Pearl Cloud inlays

* Inlaid Reg. no. back of peghead. Only done on 1st 1000 Golden Eagles. This custom is no. 293.

* Real Nitrocellulose Lacquer that has aged-yellowed to a rich & lovely Golden Amber hue. The lacquer's in terrific shape, with no buckle rash and only a few very tiny scratches, dings.

* Heritage's vintage style "Golden 50's" wax potted humbucker with controls below the f hole.

* Pickguard is a custom order "Johnny Smith" shape instead of the pointy one. It is solid hand bound & lacquered curly Maple.

* Bridge is full contact, hand fitted to the top's arch, African Ebony and with inlays. The one & only owner of this special Golden Eagle is a superb Jazz Guitarist, and he's very particular about setup, frets and intonation. The setup is to his liking, so it's spot-on.

A superb looking - sounding & playing "custom" one-off, one owner who had 2 custom Golden Eagles made. This one was his favorite, and we can see why.
