Gibson "Nick Lucas"

It's a "maple-back-and-sides-spruce-top-fingerstyle-guitar." But it's more
than that. It's a terrific reissue of the extra deep body Nick Lucas model, the one
so highly prized by today's fingerstyle and blues players. It looks just like the
original, and it's built lightly to sound much like the original.
Nick Lucas was certainly one of the most influential (and successful -"Tiptoe
Through the Tulips") guitarists of his day, although this instrument would be
a winner even if his name were not attached to it.
