Up for sale is a beautifully aged vintage Gibson J-50 ADJ, built in the early 1970–1971 period and loaded with that classic Gibson slope-shoulder tone—dry, warm, punchy, and incredibly responsive. This example has all the vintage character players and collectors love: decades of natural checking, patina, and play wear that only enhances its sound. It also features an adjustable ADJ bridge and can be plugged in electronically, making it stage-ready while retaining its vintage soul.

  • Dents, scratches, and finish wear throughout
  • A visible finish crack, possibly extending into the wood, running from the bottom of the bridge downward
  • Back and sides show scratches, scuffs, and small marks
