Gibson Blues King
$2,960.00
Released January, 2010
The Pros:Pick guard is a perfect and subtle complement to the finish, doesn't distract. Finish has a gorgeous glow effect, looks classic and beautiful. Bridge and hardware has a classic, "authentic" look to it.
The Cons:Cost is very high considering the price of vintage guitars with equivalent sound. Body seems a little smaller than it should compared to the neck. Voice isn't as loud as it could be, needs a decent amp.
The Gibson Blues King is a classic six-string acoustic guitar that has a unique look and sound because of the quality materials it's constructed with. A high-quality model, the guitar has a 14-fret body style and a Sitka spruce top and Mahogany neck that has an extremely comfortable feel to it.
