Description

The Gibson Country Western model is one of the classiest models that the Kalamazoo guitar maker ever introduced. This 1956 example comes from the second year of production and is in excellent playing condition thanks to a recent refret and neck reset. The natural version of the Southern Jumbo, these Country Westerns tend to have higher grade Sitka tops, as imperfections couldn't be covered by a sunburst like SJs. This one is ready to go and we love its full bodied sound.

Comes in original chipboard case.
