Description
Just recently acquired from the family of the original owner, this lovely square shoulder dreadnought exudes all the charm & sophistication we've come to admire about these gorgeous sounding '60s Gibson acoustics. The sunburst finish on this one is quite striking & really pops! The neck is silky smooth & comfortable to play anywhere on the fretboard. And of course the tone is to die for - warm, rich, robust voice with excellent sound projection - this beauty is a real winner! Professionally inspected & set up ready to play straight out of the case.
Cosmetic Condition: Well cared for over the decades & in really great shape considering it's over 60 years old. Various little nicks, chips, dents & dings; scratches & some weather checking. Overall the guitar has a great look to it with an authentic vintage vibe & beautiful patina.
Neck: Mahogany neck with nicely aged cream binding & black side-dots. A small section of binding needed to be reglued on the treble-side near the nut. Rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl double parallelogram inlays. Original frets are in great shape with hardly any wear. Kluson Deluxe tuners with cream buttons. 1 11/16" nut width; 24 3/4" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod works fine.
Body: Square shoulder dreadnought with multi-ply top & back binding. Solid spruce top in sunburst finish with large tortoise pickguard & multi-ring rosette. Rosewood bridge with adjustable ceramic saddle. Solid mahogany back & sides in cherry finish. There are no electronics & the guitar weighs 4 lbs 8.3 oz.
