So she turned to Gibson in the hope of having an exact replica made with more modern specifications—the starting point for this “Sheryl Crow Signature” model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEssentially, it is a Southern Jumbo, which was produced starting in 1942, offered in a natural finish starting in 1954, and renamed “Country Western” starting in 1956 in a slightly modified square-shoulder dreadnought body style. The craftsmanship, wood selection, and construction are—typical of Gibson Bozeman—of the highest standard. Gibson not only joins the neck and body with the very stable dovetail joint, but the top of this flat-top also features a slight, barely perceptible arch. This slight arch also has a positive effect on sound projection, especially in the midrange.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis acoustic guitar, featuring a solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany sides and back, produces an extremely brilliant sound with great bass, singing mids, and beautiful, sparkling highs.
