This is your cheap Gibson acoustic guitar from the late sixties. It has an all mahogany body, a mahogany neck, RW board, and plastic bridge (EEK!!!!!!)

This guitar sounded ugly with flatpicks, but when I use my bare fingertips, it sounded of pure heaven! I guess that concert-size guitars are made for the touch of bare fingers and not flatpicks.
Action, Fit, & Finish

I got this guitar from a guy who's mom was a hippie in the sixties, and accordingly, this guitar is a 1969 model. It is wonderful condition, though. It has the original finish that is in near-perfect shape. It has all the original parts, except the tuners were old, Japanese replacements. I changed those to what I found out later to be actual Kluson Deluxe tuners!!! Go figure. This one even has the original screws that hold on the pickguard for God's sake!!

This is a great guitar, that, surprisingly, I am not afraid to take anywhere to play. It is a vintage Gibson with that wonderful tone for only $500! I only gave the guy three crappy Ibanez soundtank pedals for it though!! I wonder who got the better end of the deal.....

I have never dealt with Gibson personally. I have been told by many Gibson owners that they are like your next=door neighbor. They are kind people who are willing to make you a happy customer.

This is a great guitar!!!! If it were stolen, I would have to look far and wide for another one this great. I have played three other ones I saw in local music stores, and they all suck!! They are lacking in that whole vibe that a vintage guitar is supposed to have.
