NEW ARRIVAL This is a very unusual example of an early 60’s Gibson dreadnought - the classic slope shouldered shape with a dark honey coloured top, but with double pickguards. There are signs of playwear on both sides of the soundhole, suggesting it’s been owned by a left hander, so the double guard is for practical reasons, although it makes the guitar very distinctive looking. This guitar has all the unmistakable characteristics of an early 60's Gibson dreadnought which makes them sound so familiar, 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 action is set just right, and unlike later 60’s examples the neck is quite full feeling. The guitar is in excellent condition, with just one small cracks repair next to the soundhole, and other than that just a few dings and light scratches and good honest playwear. The guitar has an active under saddle pickup fitted, and comes in it’s original hard case.
