The 70s revival of the J-55 offered up some adaptions to the classic round shoulder design of the 30s, to set it apart from the other acoustics in the Gibson family both visually and tonally. 

This x-braced, square shouldered bruiser is a real triumph of the Norlin era. The solid Spruce top paired with the laminate arched Mahogany back and Mahogany sides offers up a mid-range focused and articulate tonality with a bucket load of power and projection. Great for finger style or big open chords, it'll be just as at home in a studio or on a stage. 

Its in great condition for its age, with some signs of playwear from its 45 years but nothing more than cosmetic. It comes with our customary two year set up and servicing warranty included in the price.
