Gibson Acoustic Limited 2016 Keb Mo Royale (Vintage Sunburst)

Gibson Acoustic Limited 2016 Keb Mo Royale (Vintage Sunburst) Overview

The blues was born as an acoustic music, and its roots still run deep in that direction today. No artist embraces this ethos more than Keb' Mo', whose post-modern blues stylings stretch to fully electric blues, jazz, and R&B, while constantly referencing the Delta-fried, acoustic-fuelled music that forms the beating heart of his inspiration.

Gibson's "L" series acoustic guitars were there at the very birth of blues having been played by the great blues originator Robert Johnson, among others, and this was the inspiration behind the Keb' Mo' Bluesmaster. And this is the new and limited edition Keb’ Mo’ Royale from Gibson Montana – a small body sized acoustic with classy Vintage Sunburst finish and herringbone/cream bound appointments, and also built with top-notch features that make it a fantastic sounding instrument. The Royale has a thermally aged Adirondack red spruce top for a warm and played-in tone, along with scalloped X bracing, and hide glue used for the 12th fret neck joint. The electronics are a LR Baggs VTC pickup for a quality amplified sound as well.
