Description

A popular layman's definition of "Country Music" is "you know it when you hear it."

In the case of this 1963 Country Western, you don't even have to give it a strum to know that that rings true. The perfect companion for a classic country crooner or studio savant, this guitar is a timeless Gibson classic. It's been recently refretted to provide a comfortable playing experience. Its also had a desireable bridge conversion from plastic to rosewood; increasing sustain. The plywood bridge plate has been removed and replaced with a thinner maple plate; increasing responsiveness. These are favorable modifications, yet the guitar still remains a bit of a time capsule: it's in its original case with its original hangtag and receipt from Bailey Music in Chattanooga. It will take anything you throw at it, even if it's just "three chords and the truth."
