Gibson: Don't Mess with a Good Thing
Gibson guitars have been around for well over a century. When guitarists are looking for an outstanding combination of superb tone and playability along with great looks and gorgeous finishes, the choice for most of those 100 plus years has been Gibson. From their amazing collection of fine acoustics to the electric guitars that literally rewrote music history, Gibson guitars have been on almost every chart-topping album from artists like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Cream and Led Zeppelin. These "first call" instruments also cross an enormous array of diverse styles, from folk and country to blues and hard rock. With that resume, it's not surprising that so many of Gibson's best-selling instruments have changed little over the decades. Because there's just no sense in messing with a good thing!

"The last one of these that hit Sweetwater lasted about two days. I bought it basically on the spot. The tone is amazing. There are overtones happening all over the place. The sustain is scary and bar chording sounds almost as rich and full as open chording on this instrument. The high E and B strings ring out with the same attack and fullness as the wound strings. Quite possibly the best tonally balanced acoustic guitar I've ever played. It's certainly the loudest. And I've played a few."
