Materials: Solid tiger flame maple top, solid Honduras mahogany body and neck; solid
ebony fingerboard with compound radius.

Hardware: All gold hardware includes twin '57 Classic PAF pickups; ABR-1 Tune-o-matic
bridge; gold bonnet volume and tone knobs; bound tortoise pickguard; gold Gibson mini-
Schaller tuners; custom truss rod cover.

Notes: Guitar legend Pat Martino started his professional career at age 15 and has never
looked back. A leader for Prestige by age 20, Martino became one of the most influential
guitarists of his generation, working alongside iconic performers like Jimmy Smith, Jack
McDuff, and Richard 'Groove' Holmes. When brain surgery almost ended his career in 1980,
Martino taught himself to play again from scratch, earning the admiration of fans, peers and
critics alike.

The Gibson Pat Martino Custom was designed to the specs of its namesake, with a single
cutaway, contoured mahogany back, solid tiger flame maple top, and twin f-holes. The
successor to Gibson's innovative Paul Jackson Jr. model, the Pat Martino Custom has a
hollowed mahogany body offering greater sustain and feedback resistance, yet distinctly
lighter in weight than conventional solid bodies. The contoured 'snakehead' style peghead
permits straight string pull across the nut, and the deep cutaway allows full access to the
compound radius 22 fret fingerboard.

This rare blonde example from the second year of production shows deep rollers of tiger
flame figure in the solid maple top. In showroom condition, the guitar is 100% original, and
free of pick, buckle, thumb or fingerboard wear, complete with original factory tags and
paperwork.

Discontinued in 2006, the Martino has become highly sought after by players and collectors
alike. A highly versatile instrument for the working performer, and a fitting tribute to a true
modern Guitar Hero. One only: call now.

Setup: Trussrod tension and neck relief adjusted; bridge height adjusted; bridge
compensation set; bridge wheels and tuners lubricated; fingerboard and bridge oiled; body
and neck cleaned and hand polished.

Case: Original Gibson logo deluxe black arched plush lined hardshell case.
