A very nice Gurian J-M from the C Series from 1978, this rare guitar is one of the Gurian models that Paul Simon played and cherished over the years as it was one of his favorite guitars. Built in New Hampshire in 1978, Gurian guitars are one of the most important forerunners of small boutique guitar makers like Collings, Santa Cruz, and so many others. We are pleased to offer this excellent instrument of historic American steel string guitars.
This guitar has been played but is well cared for, has no cracks or abuse, just a few marks from play and use.
Despite the years of use, the frets are in good condition and the playability is excellent. The tone can best be described as typical Gurian ... Strong mids, excellent bass and treble, and overall a beautiful, sophisticated sound.
The serial number C3095 makes this guitar a 1978 model. The scale length is 650mm, the body size J is most comparable to an OM+ body, slightly deeper and a little wider. This high quality guitar is an excellent choice for serious fingerstyle players who are looking for a guitar that is not only suitable for standard fingerstyle, the long scale length also makes it suitable for alternative tunings, and the body size also allows for a fair amount of strumming.
