The Gibson Country Western is a house favorite at TME: the hint of flair on top of what's essentially a J-50 platform says, "Let's get down to business!" These are guitars made for musicians interested in letting the song come to the forefront of a performance. A Country Western may not be the world's most versatile guitar, but there's no denying its purity and directness of tone once you strum that first chord. Its voice is dry, and uncluttered with overtones, making it an ideal recording guitar -- and a perfect companion for a singer who needs to let it rip with a band and know their guitar will punch through the mix without muddying it up. This particular Country Western comes to us on consignment; and it's been a gigging guitar seemingly its whole life. A new saddle has been installed to accommodate the guitar's internal active pickup (also, of course, not original). The body features plenty of well-earned play wear, but is free of cracks and structurally sound. The action is set low, with room to be adjusted one way or another. Priced with hardshell case. On consignment -- shipping calculated at checkout.
Condition: Vintage. Fully inspected and set up by TME staff before it ships or leaves the showroom.
