{"product_id":"gibson-nick-lucas-elite-used","title":"Gibson Custom Shop Nick Lucas Elite 'Tobacco Sunburst' Preowned 2004","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Gibson Custom Shop Nick Lucas Elite is a deeply historic instrument - a faithful recreation of the guitar built for Nick Lucas, one of the earliest guitar heroes of the recording era and one of the first artists to have a signature guitar produced in his name. Originally introduced by Gibson in 1926, the Nick Lucas was distinguished by its deep-body parlour format, shorter scale length, and rich, full-bodied acoustic voice that made it a favourite of early jazz, vaudeville, and popular music performers. This 2004 Custom Shop example honours that legacy with meticulous attention to vintage specification and appointments, producing an instrument that is as historically significant as it is tonally inspiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe solid spruce top with mahogany back and sides and hand-scalloped X-bracing delivers a warm, resonant, and dynamically articulate acoustic voice that is equally at home fingerpicking intricate melodies or strumming full, ringing chord voicings. The deep body design enhances projection and low-end warmth beyond what a standard parlour body produces, while the 24.75\" scale length and vintage-style neck profile provide a comfortable, familiar playing feel that suits both traditionalists and contemporary players. Mother-of-pearl inlays, nickel hardware, and the rich Tobacco Sunburst finish reflect the Custom Shop's characteristic commitment to visual authenticity and premium appointment quality. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis 2004-built guitar is a very rare find - the Elite was often built with Koa back-and-sides, or finished in a Honeyburst finish, but this particular version features Honduran Mahogany back-and-sides and a classic dark Tobacco Sunburst finish, and it looks incredibly cool! This guitar has been well-played and shows some genuine wear throughout, with some deep pick scratches and plenty of lacquer crazing. There's a small patch of missing abalone from the rosette, the nut and saddle have been replaced with bone and a passive K\u0026amp;K pickup has been professionally installed. This is a wonderful small-bodied Gibson with the dry, woody and fundamental tone that you'd expect with a little more bass and volume thanks to it's deeper body shape. A very rare 00 with true vintage vibe. Includes original hardshell case.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\" class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eModel: Gibson Custom Shop Nick Lucas Elite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eYear: 2004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBody: Deep parlour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTop: Solid spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBack \u0026amp; sides: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBracing: Hand-scalloped X-brace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNeck: Mahogany, vintage-style profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFingerboard: Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFrets: 19\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eScale length: 24.75\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eInlays: Mother of pearl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHardware: Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePickup: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFinish: Tobacco Sunburst\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eStrings: 6-string, steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMade in: USA (Gibson Custom Shop)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48268552765661,"sku":"CON12477","price":4499.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.acousticcentre.com.au\/products\/gibson-nick-lucas-elite-used","provider":"Acoustic Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
