For sale is my Gibson J-55. Serial number suggests date of manufacture of 1973. The top is spruce and the back/sides are mahogany. The back has a beautiful arched contour. It is in very good condition with only a few flaws. The binding is missing in two locations. This is highlighted in a couple of the photographs. The tortoise shell binding would frequently experience this over the years. In addition, the binding is cracked but secure in several other locations. The pick guard also was raised on the lower half but is now secure. There is no evidence this guitar has ever had any damage to the neck. Original Grover/Gibson milk bottle tuners are present and in excellent condition with some age-related patina. There are no cracks in the body of the guitar and the action is low. The OHSC is present as are Gibson hang tags. Other case candy is included but I am not sure if it is original to the guitar. The case key is present and still sealed in the envelope. A Fishman Acoustic Matrix Natural 1 has been installed under the saddle and is operational. I'll also throw in a hootenanny style guitar strap that came with it when I bought it.
