For sale Pre-Gibson Tobias Classic 5

scubaduba said:

Here is a Tobias #1969. It is simply amazing. It is about as "like new" as you will be fortunate enough to find I think. There is hardly a mark on it. A true closet queen. Just look at the pics. It is all original including the case. It is even strung with a never used set of original Tobias strings. So it is truly all original.

Bubinga top
Wenge tone plate
Alder body
Flame maple neck
Purple Heart stringers
Rosewood fingerboard

If you want a pre-serial 2044 Tobias built by the man himself in amazing condition this might be the opportunity of a lifetime for you. I will say up front that I am not 100% certain I want to let this go because I fully understand this is not something I could likely ever replace. So as they say, this is a trade feeler and it may not be here long.

I am primarily interested in Fodera, Sadowsky, Dingwall Super J/PJ or other high end instruments. I know what I have here so I will be selective. Might be tempted to downscale in bass too with cash coming my way.

Serious inquiries only please. PM me with your interest to keep the thread clean please.

I am happy to take additional pictures if there is something you'd like to see and talk in detail about this fine instrument by phone.

Thanks for looking!
