About This Listing

This instrument came from our recently acquired "Kalamazoo Collection." We acquired the collection from a married couple that worked at the original factory from the late 50s until the factory closed in June of 1984. These pieces are uncirculated and mostly untouched in mint or near-mint condition ~ The collection also includes 1000s of pieces of memorabilia, new-old-stock parts, and more ~ reach out with any/all inquiries!

The Gibson Blue Ridge Dreadnought was constructed from 1968-1979 and is a lovely build featuring a Rosewood body/fingerboard and a solid Spruce top and features a longer 25.5" scale. This is a factory 2nd BGN and is in new-old-stock condition condition with no cosmetic or structural issues. Plays great and sounds great with a soft, warm, and rich sound that's great to sing along with. A great example of a Norlin Era dreadnought! Includes original hardshell case.
