1994 Gibson Gospel Anniversary Edition Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar, Near-Mint w/ Case

Up for sale, a 1994 Gibson Gospel Anniversary Edition in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. Originally produced from 1972-79, this unique Gibson square shoulder dreadnought is unique for its arched mahogany back and longer (25 ½”) scale length. Crafted at the Bozeman, MT factory, this particular iteration was produced in limited quantities to celebrate 100 years of Gibson production, featuring a solid spruce top, mahogany back/sides, soft V-shaped mahogany neck, and rosewood fingerboard.

Tonally, this Gospel is warm, sweet, and detailed, with a terrific balance of sonic depth and articulation. The soundboard is relaxed and worked-in, and there’s plenty of power on tap for big, well-defined strumming, with a responsiveness and sensitivity to note attack that works well for fingerpicking and more subdued applications. Weighing 4lbs 5oz, this Gospel Anniversary has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.
