Sound Pure's Take

This is what acoustic guitar is all about.  A guitar that was owned by a couple different generations of a family, played and cared for all along the way.  It's got the history and it's got the sound--warm, sweet, and woody with a soft hand; punchy and honky when you lean in.  Truly the "Gibson sound" players revere the world over.  And a great look, too!  Unusually high figuring in the Mahogany on that back set.  It's no surprise that this guitar needed some routine maintenance with all the mileage on it--our luthier performed a neck reset and bridge reglue (a particularly nice piece of craftsmanship on that bridge courtesy of the highly talented Jim Merrill of Merrill guitars), both jobs going wonderfully.  Now she's ready for playing--get to it!
