1961 Gibson Country Western Guitar
(Serial No. 13672) Excellent plus condition. The
Country Western is the same model as the Southern Jumbo but with a
natural finish top. Otherwise the guitars are identical. Fabulous
sounding guitar that really nails the
Gibson midrangy slope shoulder dreadnaught sound. Natural top finish, Sitka spruce
top,
mahogany back and sides, Brazilian bound rosewood fretboard with double
parallelogram inlays and Brazilian bridge, and seven layers of top
binding. Still has the tall thin 50s style top and back braces and the wider 1 11/16 inch nut. The
Kluson tuners are original. The frets
are in good
shape and the neck is straight. Original finish and no repairs other
than two very minor back cracks that have been professionally repaired by luthier Dave Sheppard. Very clean guitar showing almost no playing wear. Plays great with a
nice low action as the guitar was set up by
luthier Jerry Ray here in Richmond. Has a nice big open woody sound
with strong volume and good midrange - exactly what you are looking for
in a slope shoulder Gibson dread. Comes with a newer hardshell case.
