Gallagher was a furniture maker in Wartrace, Tennessee, and he built his first guitar in 1965. Doc Watson started playing a Gallagher G-50 in 1968, and that guitar, nicknamed “Old Hoss,” is the one you hear on \u003cem\u003eWill the Circle Be Unbroken\u003c\/em\u003e. In 1974 Gallagher built Doc a new guitar with a neck made to his specs, and that became the first Doc Watson model. It has the 1-3\/4\" nut and herringbone trim Doc liked, and it’s the most recognized guitar the company makes. This one dates to 1982, when J.W.’s son Don was running the shop, so it comes from the early years of the model. It’s a big, balanced flatpicking dreadnought, and it’s easy to hear why Doc stuck with these!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a small crack at the end of the fretboard on the bass side. It comes with what we assume is the original case, which is in very good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product-spec-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eColor: natural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFinish Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFinish Condition: good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWeight: 4 lbs 12 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eHas Truss Rod: no adjustable truss rod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eScale Length: 25.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Width: 1-3\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Thickness At 1st Fret: .915\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Thickness At 10th Fret: .975\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Radius: 14\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eString Spacing At Bridge: 2-1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBody Length: 20\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eLower Bout: 15-3\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWaist: 10-7\/8'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eUpper Bout: 11-1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBody Depth\/Thickness: 4-7\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eOverall Length: 40-3\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePickguard Color: tortoise shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePickguard Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eStrap Buttons: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Material: mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Profile: deep C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTuner Brand And Model: Schaller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTuners Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChanges To Headstock For Tuners?: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTruss Rod Cover: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Original: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Material: bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eInlay: none on fretboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Material: ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFret Condition: very good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFret Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFret Count: 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Material: spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Condition: very good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Cracks: crack at end of fretboard bass \/ side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Binding: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Binding Condition: very good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBack \u0026amp;
