Gibson Country Western 60s Original - antique natural

The GIBSON Original Collection Country Western 60s (OCSSCW60HFAN) electro-acoustic guitar combines tradition and modernity to offer a unique musical experience. Renowned for its rich tone and elegance, it will appeal to both amateurs and experienced musicians alike.

Overview

First released in 1955 as a Southern Jumbo, the Country Western evolved in 1962 into a Dreadnought Square Shoulder. It is a variation of the Hummingbird, featuring a Natural finish and a sleek pickguard. The model has won over artists such as Sheryl Crow, David Gilmour, and Dave Grohl, who are its passionate ambassadors.

High-quality materials for exceptional tone

The Country Western 60s Original features a Sitka spruce top, while the back, sides, and neck are made of solid mahogany. The rosewood fingerboard, with a 24.75-inch scale and a round profile, enhances playing comfort. This selection of woods offers a rich and dynamic tonal palette:

• Generous and powerful bass
• Prominent mids
• Clear, full-bodied treble

Its natural acoustic volume makes it the perfect instrument for singers who accompany themselves on guitar, ensuring optimal sound projection.

Innovative pickup technology for faithful amplification

Equipped with the exclusive Baggs HiFi DNA system, the Country Western 60s Original revolutionizes the amplification experience. This system uses two pickups positioned under the bridge plate, capturing both the vibrations of the strings and those of the soundboard. This approach ensures an even more natural and dynamic sound reproduction:

• Faithful reproduction of the instrument’s acoustic character
• Dedicated active preamps for each pickup
• Volume and tone controls integrated into the inner edge of the soundhole

The Gibson Country Western 60s Original is therefore a versatile electro-acoustic guitar, suitable for a wide range of musical styles and playing techniques, whether fingerpicking or strumming.
