Collector's Choice #4 Sandy!!

Got a mail from Tom Wittrock
here's the CC#4 Prototype 9 1228 aka Sandy

Here's a quick look at the prototype for the Sandy Collector's Choice #4 series, to be built by the Gibson Custom Shop.
These photos show off the flame, using a flash. The production versions should be a little flamier than this one!

Tom Wittrock


ENJOY!!!!

Re: Collector's Choice #4 Sandy!!

I liked CC#2, EXCEPT for the big nick (chunk) missing in the middle of the back of the neck. I like the look of this one. I hope it has a more intact neck!

That's the best looking new Historic I have seen!

That guitar is simply rude!

Agree but I was not going to mention all the usual stuff that Gibson just cannot do in mass production, even if they wanted to.
