The instruments in this series are reproductions of Gibson classics, mostly manufactured by the Custom Shop in Nashville, TN. These guitars are manufactured to the exact specifications of their original release and in several cases, use the same tooling when available. The Gibson Historic Collection first debuted in 1991, and is now formally part of the Gibson Custom, Art, Historic Division. Historic Collection instruments are produced in limited quantities. Historic Collection instruments may also be found under individual category or model names. The few guitars that do show up in the secondary marketplace are usually in Excellent+ (95% - 98% condition).
