The top braces are precision cut to match the originals, hand fit to the top by Ferguson using historic bracing patterns and techniques and then set with hide glue in his personal workshop. Inside the guitar collectors will find inscribed and dated ‘For Gibson by Ren Ferguson’. After the top left Ferguson’s workshop, it is constructed with back and sides that were built by the master craftsmen in Bozeman. She has a customary bone nut and saddle and is finished in an antique sunburst nitro lacquer. Also, for the first time since Gibson Acoustics have been made in Montana, she comes with a period-correct silk-screened peghead logo.
She’s exceptionally responsive due to their lightweight (1.9KG) and traditional construction. Excellent tonewood, slim, tall braces and the traditional finish provides the perfect foundation for an instrument’s personality to mature and blossom. She is in excellent condition including the Anniversary certificate, Gibson Warranty booklet and original Gibson Acoustic branded hardshell case. This is a great guitar for strummers and fingerpickers.
