Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good - Some finish dimpling and light play wear
This guitar is perfect for vocal accompaniment - articulate and clear, with a crisp and natural sound you can only get from the old Gibson's. The flamed maple back and sides have a shimmering quality to the top end frequencies and are equally as stunning aesthetically. The fact it's a 1 of 50 guitar makes the rarity all that more enticing. This guitar is going to make some very happy for a very long time, because once it's in their hands - it's not coming out.
From Gibson Guitars
This famous flame maple-backed dreadnought introduced in the early ‘60s is intertwined with one of the most revolutionary decades in popular music history. Its maple back & sides and long scale produce the crisp, clear tone and projection associated with the SJ-200 while the square-shoulder body brings a balance and warmth usually associated with the Hummingbird. The handcrafted pickguard, with a single mother-of-pearl dove inlaid among hand-painted wild roses, make this guitar instantly recognizable as a true child of the ’60s. Ships with a certificate of authenticity.
