These (the Fusion models)  were originally made from 1979 to 2009.  This particular was built in 1989 and bought from the Hollywood Gibson Custom Shop.  The modifications on the guitar were done in the factory by Robert Giffen himself.   The lower Tone knob (when pulled out) serves as a Coil Tap.   The other Tone knob places the pickups Out of Phase (when pulled out).

This Howard Roberts is in excellent condition, with some signs of being played of course, but not much for wear.  It comes with the original hardshell case.  The guitar has been setup to play perfectly by the techs in our shop....and it seriously does play amazingly well.  This is quite the find!
