NEW ARRIVAL For me this is one of the most iconic looking Gibson acoustic guitars - a square shouldered dreadnought with a three point tortoiseshell pickguard, a dark cherry sunburst top, and eye catching pearl split parallelogram fingerboard inlays. Also it's unusual to see such a beautifully figured Mahogany back. This guitar has all the unmistakable characteristics of a 60's Gibson dreadnought which makes them sound so iconic sounding, when you start playing your mind starts racing as it sounds like so many of the great 60's recordings - mellow, smooth, warm and rich. The bound neck makes it feel very easy to play, not as slim as some of the late 60's Gibsons, and the action is set just right. The guitar is in good condition, with a repaired top crack along the centre seam, and lots of cool looking lacquer checking, a few light scratches and good honest playwear. There is a slight dip around the soundhole, and arching behind the bridge, but nothing which affects the integrity or tone of the guitar. It has an LR Baggs active pickup installed which has a volume control mounted inside the soundhole, and sounds great plugged in, and comes in it's original hard case.
