1969 Gibson Country Western SJN Acoustic Guitar - Toronto

1969 Gibson Country Western SJN Acoustic Guitar

Up for sale is my prized vintage Gibson Country Western. Purchased from Chicago Music Exchange June 2019. The only thing I’ve done to it besides the yearly setups, was a fret dress.

All Photos posted are from Chicago Music Exchange. Guitar condition has not changed at all. Has been stored and kept in a humidity controlled room from season to season.

The serial number dates to the late 60's-early 70's. Chicago Music Exchange assured me it was 1969 though when you look the serial number up, it is 1970. All that being said the style of neck heel and neck profile suggest that the guitar was built before 1970. Most likely 1969 specs but was stamped as part of the early guitar shipped out in 1970.
