Version 2.2
HSG (Gherson)

The guitar that follows now is the one that made me start collecting, a fleamarket find, handbuild, mahogany body, set neck, splitable di marzio humbuckers, and all this for 130 dutch guilders with case.

I know almost nothing about this guitar except that it’s possible german and build in 1979.

So who ever heard of the guitar please tell me, recently gotten some information it’s most likely a Gherson, a small Italian builder who made high quality instruments.

The copperwire inlay around the body is quit unusual never seen this on any other guitar before and after.

A very versatile guitar with those pu split  options, only the jumbo frets needed some getting use to.

It now is sure this guitar is made by Gherson last year on a vintage show there was a les paul branded gherson wuth the same copperinlay an used materials, but this was a bolt on guitar.
