This example is from the late 1960's, with the sharp Florentine cutaway and two patent # humbucking pickups. The neck is slimmer than earlier examples but still with a substantial feel. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough Gibson quality in general slipped somewhat in this time period, the top-line carved guitars suffered the least; this guitar still has the feel of a top-quality instrument from an earlier era.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 42 1\/4 in. (107.3 cm.), 16 15\/16 in. (43 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 3 1\/4 in. (8.2 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 25 1\/4 in. (641 mm.). Width of nut is 1 9\/16 in.
