Up for auction is a rare early 60's Gibson ABR-1, chrome bridge w/ retaining wire and nylon saddles.  This has the EARLY ABR-1 stamp with special foundry mark (which was changed in '65 to a patent no.) This can be used to restore a vintage guitar from '62-'65  (ES-335, SG, Firebirds) all from that era nicely, these were all transition years. This one has some slight pitting and surface wear, see pictures -but overall still nice. 

Please note: This has been shaved slightly on the bottom to lower the height, works fine as is. This would be an EXCELLENT candidate for a guitar that needs lower action due to shallow neck angle etc.. Note: i've seen this many times where the neck set isn't 100%, and this is what is required to get it to play decently, this allows the bridge to be dropped sufficiently. 

Selling completely as is with all sales final.

No Returns

Thanks for looking!
