Gibson Murphy Lab 1963 Country Western Ac Guitar Heavy Aged Smoked Natural
The Gibson 1963 Country Western reissue revives one of the brand’s most requested acoustic models. Originally introduced in 1962 as a square-shouldered take on the Southern Jumbo, it features a thermally aged Sitka spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides, and traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing for a rich, vintage-inspired tone.
The mahogany neck offers a comfortable round profile, a bound Indian rosewood fretboard, and classic mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays. Aged nickel Gotoh® tuners, a rosewood belly-up bridge, and a bone saddle, nut, and bridge pins ensure solid tuning stability. Masterfully aged by the Murphy Lab, this reissue delivers the worn-in feel and character of a road-tested classic.
