Not much is known about it other than that - but it appears to be a Research and Development (R+D) "prototype" from when they were planning the BIG Gibson 100th Anniversary for 1994. This has the proper case, ribbon and real diamond on the headstock to make it a proper version for that iconic run - but misses a few of the key details. They didn't end up producing a 100th Anniversary Country Gentleman likely due to a lack of history behind the Country Gentleman for the Gibson company but it is cool to ponder what might've been!
