{"product_id":"1936-gibson-hg-00-5663","title":"1936 Gibson HG-00","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrought to Folkway by the granddaughter of its original owner back in 2010, this HG-00 was bought new in London, Ontario in the late 1930's. It was owned and used by music teacher and lifelong musician, Edyth Hudson, cousin of The Band's Garth Hudson. It is a wonderful guitar, and remains in beautiful condition. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConverted to Spanish (standard) style by our shop about 15 years ago, the guitar plays perfectly with comfortably easy action (5 to 7 64ths at the 12th fret). Amazingly, the instrument didn't need a neck reset, and the original bridge remains full thickness. The guitar was 100% original and unaltered when we first obtained it a decade and a half ago. In the conversion we filled and re-routed the bridge's saddle slot for correct intonation after reglueing the bridge and cleanly removing the pearl dots and bolts. We glued one top crack, and cut a new nut for the guitar as the original's string-to-string spacing was not correct. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA strong sounding guitar with a forward and fundamental voice, articulate note separation, and really big trebles. It's a great fingerpicker, a proficient lead guitar, and has a surprising immediacy to its response - similar to an archtop in that way. Big V shaped neck, 1-7\/8 nut, 1.0” at the first fret, 24.75\" scale, 2-3\/8\" string spread at the bridge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e**USD Price includes Shopify fees\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GIBSON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67639274897774,"sku":"210000008816","price":6995.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/3660\/5550\/files\/178846249314801936_Gibson_HG-00-0926-bf.jpg?v=1790991412","url":"https:\/\/folkwaymusic.com\/products\/1936-gibson-hg-00-5663","provider":"Folkway Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
