Originally released in the late '50s as a natural finish alternative to the Southern Jumbo, Gibson redesigned the Country Western in the early 60s with a square-shoulder, as opposed to their earlier slope-shoulder models. Regardless of your body-shape preference, this guitar is all vintage Gibson, with a few maintenance repairs to keep it in great playing shape, including a neck reset, bridge reglue, saddle slot filled and re-cut for bone saddle, and a new nut.
