About the Gibson XR-1 1982

Gibson XR-1 Made in 1982. Pre ‘Studio’ model there was the lesser known Silver Streak and the XR-1. One notable user was the late and great Steve Clark of Def Leppard. These were made from 1981 to 1982.
This has had one owner from new and is in fantastic condition for 44 years.
There is some very light rash and the odd surface mark if you look close but there is not even any crazing etc.
Also more interesting is that has the Ebony board and mostly these were Rosewood.
The neck is a medium C, not super skinny as some can be from this time.
This plays slinky and superb plus the Tim Shaw Dirty Fingers are Wonderful. The Factory Coil Split switch is useful and an original feature of the XR-1.
Comes with it’s original Hard case, not the chainsaw as some were.

Although every guitar is checked at the point of buy in for condition we try to describe as accurately as possible and with the nature of every vintage, modern, used guitar you will always find blemishes held in certain lights that we have not solely pointed out.
These are usually very small lacquer marks or polish swirls and you have to expect a margin of very light marks that go undetected in usual lit environments.
