The kind of voice you get from a guitar like this Gibson? It’s what baby Dreadnoughts all want to grow up to sound like one day. Folks, this Heritage Dreadnought from 1967 has certainly grown up and matured into a fearsome cannon. Built like a tank with projection to match, this Heritage has Brazilian Rosewood back and sides and a Sitka Spruce top to fire out chords and single notes with ferocity. One strum, and you’re knocked off your feet–the sheer size of the voice! The Heritage Dreadnought has enormous scope, sustain for days, and an enveloping tone as dark and seductive as a moonless night. Played in for almost 50 years, she’s perfectly opened up; this one’s a real gem of a vintage Gibson. Solo arrangements are lush on this guitar, and when played in a group there’s no need to worry about not being heard. We know of some amplifiers that don’t have the air-pushing capabilities of this Heritage Dreadnought. If you’re looking for an enormous voice with rich, sumptuous sustain, look no further: the eagle has landed.

There’s a lot to like about this 1962 Gibson Barney Kessel model. Its famous namesake was of course one of the most highly regarded jazz guitarists of his era – playing on countless recordings by the very biggest names in the business – including Oscar Peterson, Sonny Rollins, Milt Jackson – and countless others.
The Kessel model is a nice jazz box with a slim neck and super fast action. It can get a wide range of tones from its humbuckers, but to our ears it fares best when played on the clean side. That said, a bit of overdrive sounds really great with this vintage beauty too. Its attractive double Florentine cutaway shape is finished in a very pretty cherry sunburst.
