The original owner kept this guitar under her bed for 7 decades - it has just the lightest of playware. As a bonus, the guitar has its unique + rare original Gibson case. Let’s go over this gem in detail - from the case to the body to all of the parts. Learn why this special vintage guitar is called, “The Arlene” and hear what it sounds like when I play the jazz song, Donna Lee, along to a slideshow showing closeups of the original vintage guitar, parts and case.

Welcome to Rhode Island Guitar Show! Jim Bastian here. I started this channel to share my knowledge of all things vintage guitar – including restoring, collecting, practicing, and performing! My first focus is vintage Gibson guitars and parts (especially archtops!), but my topics also include guitar and amp reviews, restoration techniques, performance topics, and jazz education. During my 25+ years of specializing in vintage guitars + parts – as well 45 years in jazz performance and education - I’ve found that players and collectors have a desire to learn and discuss vintage guitars, parts, and amps down to the finest details. Many people buy and sell vintage guitars, but they aren’t always familiar with the exact parts that go into an “original” instrument. That’s where my videos come in. Sounding up your alley?
