1968-1972 Gibson Blue Ridge Acoustic w/case
4lbs 10oz.
Very good condition for it's age! There is a bit of a twist to the neck, but first position plays wonderfully and higher on the neck plays decently. Does have plenty of scratches, dings, and blemishes from it's long life. Has some decent fretwear in first position but still plays as it should. Includes case, strap and candy shown. See pics.
Based on the serial number 613735, this Gibson Blue Ridge was manufactured in 1968.

The Gibson Blue Ridge was introduced in 1968 as an affordable, "working man's" alternative to the iconic Gibson J-45. It typically features a solid spruce top and laminated rosewood back and sides.
Special Editions: Some 1968 models were built with Brazilian Rosewood back and sides (often laminated) during a transitional period for Gibson's wood supply. These rare variants are significantly more valuable.
