Gibson Blue Ridge guitar 1967 - 1968

A demo with a 1967 Gibson Blue Ridge guitar. You don't see these around too often! A great sounding guitar, kind of a sober version of the J45. SOunds and plays great. This one has been fitted with a new bone compensated saddle to replace the original adjustable rosewood saddle. It also has 3 new frets (1-3). Other than that, it's original to my knowledge. Spruce top, Brazilan rosewoond back/sides and Brazilian rosewood fretboard and bridge.
Recorded with a matched pair of Rode TF-5 mics into my SSL interface. No EQ/compression/FX used.

I have a 1968 Blue Ridge (I think); Serial number 805232 (May, 1968?). The nickel tuners are labeled Kluson Deluxe, rather than Gibson. I purchased it new in the fall of 1970 at a small music store in Ft. Collins, Colorado, and the Rosewood is still gorgeous. I'm obviously older now and my arthritis has pretty much eliminated my ability to play but it's still pretty to look at. I thought '68 was the first year of production?

Awesome! The original ones were made from 68 till 79.

My cracks are see through as well.

Besides Blue Grass, what style of music is this guitar best suited for?

[@BartDietvorst]

I think it's a pretty good all rounder; great for both strumming and finger picking.
