Explanation
Gibson / 1969 Everly Brothers
[Demo Video]
The Everly Brothers model stands out even among Gibson acoustic guitars and has captivated countless rock ’n’ roll legends. Do you find yourself drawn to its one-of-a-kind look and percussive vintage tone, yet hesitant due to the skyrocketing prices and the risk of using a rare original instrument in live performances?
Even if you own a reissue or a current model with a similar shape, it’s in the nature of a serious player to still crave that crisp attack and aged character that only a genuine ’60s Gibson can deliver. But should you invest a large sum in search of a well-preserved original ’60s model, or settle for a current model and compromise on tone? This choice is a deeply troubling dilemma for any guitarist searching for a lifelong companion.
The wisest and most sublime answer to this ultimate dilemma is this 1969 Gibson Everly Brothers, which combines the aura of the legendary double pickguard with a superb cutting sound.
■ Iconic Looks That Exude a Class of Their Own on Stage Featuring an exquisitely sized body based on the J-185, this model incorporates the massive double pickguard and star inlays on the fingerboard—its most defining characteristics. The weather checking and deep, vintage-specific hues carved by over half a century of time exude a genuine sense of history and dignity that current aged finishes can never replicate, deeply satisfying the player’s desire to own it.
■The Ultimate Percussive Tone Forged Over Half a Century The staggering span of more than 50 years since its manufacture in 1969 has aged the spruce top and maple sides and back to the absolute limit. The moderate compression provided by the massive pickguard combines with the fast attack unique to maple—which has blossomed through years of playing—to create the ultimate rhythm guitar that powerfully highlights vocals.
■ Late-’60s Playability Built to Withstand Demanding Live Settings The narrow neck characteristic of the late ’60s makes it easy even for players with small hands to grip chords, boasting outstanding maneuverability for speedy cutting and aggressive strumming. Rather than being displayed in a showcase as a collector’s item, it maintains a high level of practicality, allowing it to be played to the fullest as a primary instrument in today’s demanding live and recording environments.
With limited production runs and high historical value, 1960s Everly Brothers guitars are seeing prices skyrocket worldwide, and the absolute number available on the market is already dwindling. Among them, well-preserved examples in condition ready for immediate use on stage are extremely rare, making this a truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
We invite you to experience for yourself—through your own strumming—the sublime aura of this iconic model and the ultimate rhythmic tone woven from over half a century of history. Please feel free to contact us for details on the instrument’s condition or to arrange a trial.
