Gibson Heritage Brazilian Rosewood 1967

The Gibson Heritage Dreadnought is an interesting but relatively overlooked acoustic guitar from Gibson’s vintage era. Introduced in 1965, the model remained in production until around 1982. The Heritage was positioned as a relatively affordable dreadnought within Gibson’s lineup, offering an alternative to the more expensive acoustic models. It combined a traditional large-bodied design with a spruce top and rosewood back and sides.

This 1967 Heritage was built during the transitional period leading up to Gibson’s definitive switch to East Indian rosewood in 1968. As such, it still features the Brazilian rosewood found on earlier examples. Other specifications include non-scalloped X-bracing, an adjustable bridge, tortoiseshell binding and a matching pickguard.

The guitar has been fully restored and is once again in good playing condition. A neck reset has been carried out, and both the bridge and binding have been replaced. Inside the body, all braces have been reglued, while several cracks in the top have been repaired with cleats. Finally, the body has received a refinish.

The combination of vintage character, a versatile dreadnought sound and the distinctive appearance of an instrument from this period makes the Heritage an interesting choice for enthusiasts of classic Gibson acoustic guitars.
