The sound is loud and powerful when needed and can also be sweet Loar like! very nice signature Gibson Tone.it comes in the orginal Loar style case,i have recently sold the Derrington signed Master Models for over $14k,i have more than priced this one fairly!!! it is signed June 29th 2001 by Charlie Derrington Place a Bid!
