The GIBSON J-15 was made in the USA in 2016. This guitar shows numerous signs of wear, has been used on stage and is ready to play. The frets are in good condition. The top is made of Sitka spruce, the back and sides are solid walnut, and the neck is maple with a walnut fretboard. The entire body, except for the fretboard, is finished with nitro lacquer. The neck has a Slim Taper cross-section. LR Baggs Element active electronics with volume control. The original case is included. I highly recommend this instrument and invite you to test it.
