Description

1950s Gibson Country Westerns are among the most coveted acoustic guitars around, and this example from 1957 truly lives up to the reputation. It sounds and plays beautifully, with that warm, broken-in tone vintage Gibson lovers crave—ideal for both pickers and songwriters. The playability is spot-on, making it a joy to play. It’s had a few several well-executed repairs, which can be seen in full detail under the Specs tab. Comes with a non-original hardshell case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
