1963 Gibson Country Western
SOLD This is a great example of a 60’s Country Western and, unlike later 60’s examples, the neck is quite full feeling. This gives the guitar an altogether richer sound with greater sustain, but still has that classic mellow Gibson vibe. Visually the Spruce top has darkened nicely, contrasting beautifully with the tortoiseshell pickguard, and the Mahogany back and sides really shine. The Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard feels very responsive, and easy to play. Altogether it’s a lovely guitar, very solid feeling with no cracks, just a replaced bone saddle for the original adjustable saddle, There’s lots of great looking lacquer checking and a large area of discolouration on the back, probably caused by resting against a guitar stand. The guitar comes in a non original hard case.
