With the body shape of a Hummingbird™ but in a Natural finish and having an unadorned tortoise pickguard instead of the Hummingbird’s casted, graphics-enhanced pickguard, the Country Western delivers wonderful tonal quality and a unique look that has been a resounding hit with players from the moment it was first released, all the way up to the present day; it has been one of our most requested acoustic models for reissue since the 1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1963 Country Western features a thermally aged Sitka spruce top that is supported with Gibson’s traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing for vintage-inspired tone, solid mahogany back and sides with multi-ply top and back binding, a mahogany neck with a 24.75” (628.65 mm) scale length, round profile, and a bound Indian rosewood fretboard with a 12” fretboard radius, 20 standard frets, and mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays. The neck’s compound dovetail neck-to-body joint is fitted using hot hide glue. The rosewood bridge is a traditional belly-up design, and the bridge saddle, nut, and bridge pins are all bone, and the classic Country Western tortoise pickguard is aged. The tuning machines are smooth-turning, aged nickel Gotoh® tuners with white buttons for solid tuning stability. The 1963 Country Western features heavy aging by the artisans of the Murphy Lab to give it the vibe, look, and playing feel of a well-loved, longtime musical companion. Expect a heavy weather-checked finish, heavy belt buckle wear, light arm wear, and light neck wear. Here’s your chance to own one of Gibson’s most requested vintage acoustic guitar models, with all the tone, vibe, playability, and appearance of a well-seasoned vintage original without the vintage price tag and potential issues that can accompany a sixty-year-old guitar. A period-correct black with goldenrod interior hardshell case from Gibson Custom is included, along with a certificate of authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"15\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eBody Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Square Shoulder\u003cbr data-start=\"31\" data-end=\"34\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"34\" data-end=\"49\"\u003eBody Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hummingbird\u003cbr data-start=\"61\" data-end=\"64\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"64\" data-end=\"82\"\u003eBody Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mahogany\u003cbr data-start=\"91\" data-end=\"94\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"94\" data-end=\"102\"\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thermally Aged Sitka Spruce\u003cbr data-start=\"130\" data-end=\"133\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"133\" data-end=\"142\"\u003eBack:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mahogany, with Rosewood Marquetry Strip\u003cbr data-start=\"182\" data-end=\"185\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"185\" data-end=\"194\"\u003eSide:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mahogany\u003cbr data-start=\"203\" data-end=\"206\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"206\" data-end=\"218\"\u003eBracing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional Hand-Scalloped X Bracing\u003cbr data-start=\"255\" data-end=\"258\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"258\" data-end=\"270\"\u003eBinding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Multi-ply Top and Back, Single Ply Fretboard\u003cbr data-start=\"315\" data-end=\"318\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"318\" data-end=\"334\"\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Murphy Lab Aged Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr data-start=\"373\" data-end=\"376\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"376\" data-end=\"388\"\u003eProfile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Round\u003cbr data-start=\"394\" data-end=\"397\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"397\" data-end=\"414\"\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 628.65 mm \/ 24.75 in\u003cbr data-start=\"435\" data-end=\"438\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"438\" data-end=\"463\"\u003eFingerboard Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indian Rosewood\u003cbr data-start=\"479\" data-end=\"482\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"482\" data-end=\"505\"\u003eFingerboard Radius:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304.8 mm \/ 12 in\u003cbr data-start=\"522\" data-end=\"525\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"525\" data-end=\"543\"\u003eNeck Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mahogany\u003cbr data-start=\"552\" data-end=\"555\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"555\" data-end=\"570\"\u003eFret Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20\u003cbr data-start=\"573\" data-end=\"576\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"576\" data-end=\"586\"\u003eFrets:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard\u003cbr data-start=\"595\" data-end=\"598\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"598\" data-end=\"615\"\u003eNut Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bone\u003cbr data-start=\"620\" data-end=\"623\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"623\" data-end=\"637\"\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 43.815 mm \/ 1.725 in\u003cbr data-start=\"658\" data-end=\"661\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"661\" data-end=\"672\"\u003eInlays:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mother of Pearl Parallelogram\u003cbr data-start=\"702\" data-end=\"705\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"705\" data-end=\"715\"\u003eJoint:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compound Dovetail Neck-to-body Joint;
