The Country Western was the natural finished version of the SJ or Southern Jumbo, though there are some earlier examples that are referred to as the Southern Jumbo as well. The Country Western was made a distinct model starting in 1956, though after 1960 it began being termed the SJ-N as well. Like other Gibson acoustic models, the Country Western switched rom a sloped shoulder to a square shoulder body shape in late 1962.
