At 101 years old this Gibson Style 3 “Ball Bearing” is still going strong. All of the normal appointments are in place on this one from the “shotgun“ skirt, grooved tension hoop, two piece flange, and of course, the ball bearing tone ring configuration. The maple neck was made by Clancy Mullins and has the Apollo “mighty“ d-tuners installed. The resonator has been refinished at some point and has modern "thumb screws". If you need additional pictures or have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. Thanks for looking! Here's Video: youtube.com/watch?v=99WwhhmdFLE
