Non-Crack/Original Finish! Round type Country Western in stock!
Gibson / 1961 Country Western
Round shoulder, straight saddle, 17 degree head angle, Hakaranda fretboard & bridge, and wide neck.
The Southern Jumbo, released in 1942, is a deluxe version of the J-45 with added decorations. In '54, a natural version was added, and in '56, this natural version was named "Country Western (Jumbo). Around '60, it was temporarily renamed "Southern Jumbo Natural," but was soon reverted to "Country Western" again. After the release of the Hummingbird in 1960, both the SJ and CW models changed to a square shoulder shape in 1962, and the pickguard was changed to the same type as that of the Hummingbird.
The square shoulder type is famous as Sheryl Crow's favorite model.
The one we have in stock this time was made in 1961, the last period of the round-shoulder type.
The original finish has changed its color to candy brown with age, and the calm checkering is very sexy and vintage.
The sides and back are made of beautiful quarter-sawn Honduran mahogany.
The head angle is 17 degrees, the nut width is 43mm, and the thin D shape, characteristic of the early 60's, gives the guitar an unforgettable grip.
The original fixed type bridge is made of Hakaranda. The strong lines on the bridge are very cool.
The saddle and nut have been replaced, but all other parts are original.
The look of the instrument is very promising.
The sound is also top notch.
The sound is also the pinnacle of sound. The juicy mahogany sound with a firm bass and mid to high range resonates.
It is a gem that is both pleasing to the eye and to the ear.
The case features a green inner lining, and although there is no logo mark, it captures the shape of the case that came with the instrument at that time. It is very atmospheric and cool.
