Description

This instrument is pre-owned and in fair/good condition for its age. It does show signs of play wear; it has been gigged. There is a repaired split in the top along the bass side. There is a repaired headstock break. This model is an early version with the moulded plastic bridges. They started the plastic bridge acoustics in 1962. The serial number of this guitar puts it in 1961 so we believe this to be a late 61 or very early 62 with a backdated serial number. Please examine the photos closely for its condition. This item does not come with a case.

It's spruce on mahogany with a very well-balanced and loud voice. It's a classic 'Gibson' acoustic tone that you've heard on every country music track you've ever listened to. It needs a bit of love breathed back into it, as it has been sitting for a long time. The original pickguard is still affixed but has suffered shrinkage with age. It is full of cracks and character. Some lacquer checking is present around the instrument, mainly on the headstock face.

This model is the square-shoulder dreadnought in natural.
