This piece of folk art was constructed from a heavy steel cast metal housing from the 1920s era as well as many other antique/vintage parts ,,, along with some newer componets to create this piece of lighted art work. The light was made to resemble an old Gibson amplifier and to be displayed proudly in someones collection or in your music shop as a wonderfull counter display.
CONDITION- The finish has a very fine metallic gold flake that shimmers in certain angles and lighting. There are imperfections such as some tiny paint chip specks and slight roughness in the finish in areas. There are casting seams on the back of the light and on the top back corner which was how the casting of the housing was made. (Pictured).
NOTABLE DETAILS- The knobs have lighted position dots which were created by a small hole behind the dial to allow light to cascade through and illuminate the dial positions. The dials do turn but do not have any functions. The light operates by a pushbutton switch on the lower front of the light. The Gibson logo is a large heavy cast metal gold plated original logo from a vintage gibson amplifier. The light supports three spiraled amber bulbs that replicate vaccume tubes from an amplifier but produce a good amount of light for use as a lamp. Light shines well through the back of the lamp so will be great for back lighting also. The bottom cover is beautiful as well and was made from a hammered metal plate with a unique floral design and added a wonderful extra touch of sophistication to this piece.
To change bulbs the bottom plate has 4 screws, remove and lower the panel down to change out bulbs when needed.
MEASUREMENTS- Large in size.
Approximately 15" wide x 11" tall x 7 1/2" thick/deep.
This was a hand built folk artist tribute to Gibson guitar, EXYREMELY unique and sure to turn heads everytime. Its not gibson custom shop paint finish quality but yet very nice indeed and the only one of these in the world. Great gift idea for any Gibson enthusiast who already has it all and likes the unique.
