Product Details

Gibson J-50

Based on the serial number, this guitar is estimated to be from 1965.

The J-50 is known as the natural-color model of the J-45, Gibson's representative acoustic guitar.

The body features a spruce top, mahogany sides and back, and a rosewood fingerboard.

This particular instrument boasts a slim, narrow neck, characteristic of mid-1960s models, along with a distinctive large pickguard and an adjustable saddle for easy string height adjustment.

A StewMac Bridge Doctor is also installed on the underside of the bridge.

Considering these features, we have set a relatively affordable price.

Regarding the condition, there are numerous weather checks and dents throughout, as well as paint deterioration and repair marks on the neck heel, giving it the character of a vintage guitar that has stood the test of time.

While there is some slight neck warp, the string height at the 12th fret is adjusted to approximately 2.5mm on the 6th string side and 2.0mm on the 1st string side. Currently, there are no buzzing or other issues, and the guitar is playable.

The sound is characterized by a powerful, forward projection and a somewhat heavy tone.

Depending on the picking nuance, it can also produce a crisp, raw sound, offering a presence while still responding well to the player's expression.

This guitar offers the patina of a well-played instrument and the distinctive sound characteristic of 1960s Gibson guitars.
