[SN 0021164] USED Gibson / MK-53 Sunburst (Mark Series) (1976 / Vintage) Gibson Acoustic Guitar MK53 [08]
Rare Gibson Acoustic Guitar, Mark Series!
The Mark Series (produced from around 1975 to 1978) was created based on designs by Richard Schneider and Michael Kasha.
This model is one of the models in that series.
It is characterized by a deeper body taper than round-shouldered models like the J-45.
It features a spruce top and maple sides and back, with Kasha bracing (fan-style) on the top.
Other unique features include the impedance-matching bridge and the area around the soundhole.
The 3-piece maple neck, with a 25.5" long scale and a volute, has a rosewood fingerboard and a nut width of approximately 43mm.
Another distinctive feature is the Spanish heel neck joint, rather than the standard dovetail joint.
Made in the USA
* The bridge pins have been replaced.
Serviced at a renowned guitar workshop!
The body top and bottom have been glued and reinforced against cracks; the fingerboard has been repaired; the frets have been replaced (Jescar Vintage); the nut has been replaced; loose back bracing has been fixed; and the fingerboard has been glued on both sides due to lifting of the finish.
The truss rod still has room to adjust, and the frets have been replaced, so there is ample height.
There are signs of crack repair on the 6th string side of the bridge.
There are age-related paint cracks and unevenness along the body binding and at the fingerboard/neck joint.
There is a step in the center seam of the body top and back.
As 50 years have passed since its manufacture, there are scattered signs of aging, including weather checking, natural patina, signs of use, repair marks, dents with paint chipping, and other scratches; however, playability is excellent!
It offers a different impression from traditional Gibson acoustic guitars, characterized by a loud, direct sound and rich sustain!
It has a unique look and specifications that differ from traditional Gibson acoustic guitar designs!
Condition: B: Shows significant wear and signs of use, but is perfectly functional for normal use
Serial: 0021164
Accessories: Gibson hard case (from a different era)
