Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Finished in Smoked Natural, the 1963 Country Western combines a thermally aged Sitka spruce top with mahogany back and sides. It is described as warm, resonant, clear, projecting, and responsive, with tonal depth and sustain. The mahogany neck has a round profile, while the Indian rosewood fingerboard carries 20 frets and mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays. Murphy Lab Heavy Aging provides simulated decades of play wear, joined by a Country Western tortoise pickguard, nickel hardware, and white-button Gotoh tuners.
