Description
What makes this guitar special: A magnificent Southern Jumbo with an ultra cool vintage vibe & a true representative of all the charm & mystique we love about '60s Gibson square shoulder dreadnoughts. If you really want to capture the acoustic sound of the Rolling Stones from this period, then this is absolutely the guitar for you. With a warm, rich texture & a distinct clarity you just can't find in other dreadnoughts, this gorgeous SJ is the ultimate '60s flat top. Professionally inspected & set up by the experts at Cream City Music, so it plays & sounds fantastic!
Cosmetic Condition: Perfectly aged with just the right amount of wear & no signs of abuse - just the way we like 'em! Various minor nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches, weather checking & some finish wear. The original plastic bridge was coming up a bit so we had our own master luthier replace it with a really nice rosewood bridge, but kept the original ceramic saddle. The original plastic bridge is also included with the guitar & is in the case. Overall the guitar has an absolutely gorgeous look to it with a beautiful patina.
Neck: Slender profile mahogany neck with nicely aged cream binding & tortoise side-dots. Beautiful Brazilian rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl double parallelogram inlays. Original frets show some wear, but have plenty of life in them. Original Kluson Deluxe tuners are in perfect working condition. 1 11/16" nut width; 24 3/4" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod is in fine condition.
Body: Square Shoulder dreadnought with solid spruce top & 7-ply binding. Replacement rosewood bridge with mother of pearl dot inlays & cream end pins. The original adjustable ceramic saddle is still on the guitar. Large tortoise pickguard & multi-ring rosette. Solid mahogany sides & back with 5-ply binding & single black center strip. There is no pickup & the guitar weighs a delightful 4 lbs 11.5 oz.
Case: Vintage grey chipboard case included along with the original plastic bridge.
