Description

It's time to giddy up on the Gibson 1963 Country Western Heavy Aged acoustic guitar. This popular Gibson acoustic first touched down in 1962 in a square shoulder configuration. The original Country Western was created as a variation on the popular Southern Jumbo acoustic. Flash forward a good couple decades later, and we have a brand new model celebrating the legacy of those trailblazing originals. Today's 1963 Country Western Heavy Aged features the body shape of another one of Gibson's classic acoustics, the Hummingbird, alongside an unadorned tortoise pickguard. The visual presentation of this acoustic matches with a thermally aged top brought together with hide glue bracing for a commanding and familiar tonal profile. A Gibson Custom Murphy Lab Heavy Aged finish treatment imparts the look and feel of an instrument plucked out of time with tasteful checking and aging. Totally, the 1963 Country Western is a dynamite example of Gibson's lengthy legacy and mastery over acoustic guitars.
