It was produced just before the design was changed to square shoulders the following year, making this a rare example from the final era of round shoulders.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/1321\/3933\/files\/1962-country-western-864309_00df62ac-537e-4691-acc3-efc3ae0b1175.jpg?v=1754886727\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e It produces the soft, airy tone and enveloping mid-to-low frequencies characteristic of round-shoulder guitars.
