Limited Edition 1998 Gibson USA Blues Hawk Signed by B.B. King w/ Extras
Owner's Description:
This custom, limited edition. Gibson Blues Hawk Guitar was crafted solely for the Southern Comfort 16-city music tour of 1998. It was in collaboration with House Of Blues and Southern Comfort to support the "Rock-N-Roots" music series featuring, among other greats, B.B. King. B.B. King autographed this very rare guitar during this music series (NO COA obtained); fewer than 10 EVER existed.
It has been held in protective custody by the previous Southern Comfort National Sales Promotion Manager. It is now time for someone to really appreciate this original work of art. The Gibson official guitar case is included with wonderful, plush green soft lining to protect this once in a lifetime guitar, as well as an XL blue jean jacket with the left breast logo of Southern Comfort, Take it Easy. Full back embroidered Southern Comfort with the House of Blues heart on fire background, supported by Rock-N-Roots Music Series 1998. Guitar also comes with a double sided, thick card stock poster (see pics).
